Press Freedom & Safety Hub
Protect your organization and journalists from legal, digital and physical threats
Welcome to INN’s Press Freedom & Safety Hub, a home base for organizations to navigate resources to keep their workplace and journalists safe.
As attacks on the media have risen, newsrooms are increasingly worried about libel lawsuits, harassment of reporters and other threats to journalists and the work they do.
INN provides newsroom leaders with access to concrete tools to proactively keep their teams safe and supported so that they may continue to do their critical work. The Press Freedom & Safety Hub resources include pro bono legal help, media insurance assistance, digital privacy tools, and more.
