It was, literally, a list of attacks against journalists, produced simply on typed pages that were held together with staples. The organization quickly expanded its efforts, publishing bound editions of the annual survey, each year adding substance and context to the reporting. Attacks on the Press soon became a leading resource on international press freedom, all the while evolving to put greater emphasis on analysis and include ever-more ambitious digital companions. With the publication of this new edition, CPJ takes another important step in the evolution of Attacks on the Press. We’re proud to announce a new partnership with Bloomberg, which is underwriting the publication of Attacks on the Press, and Wiley, our new publisher. With their expertise, the new edition of Attacks on the Press leverages CPJ research to look ahead at the emerging issues confronting journalists
