The U.S. Press Freedom Tracker is a project of Freedom of the Press Foundation (FPF), in partnership with nearly three dozen media and advocacy groups. As a repository for press freedom aggressions in the United States, it documents assaults and arrests of journalists, the search, seizure or damage of their equipment, and subpoenas, border stops and denials of access, among other incidents.

The Tracker’s data informs journalism, advocacy and legal action across the country. This important work depends on your support.
