	Committee to Protect Journalists (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		CPJ protects journalists by "publicly revealing abuses against the press and by acting on behalf of imprisoned and threatened journalists and by effectively warning journalist and news organization where attacks on press freedom are likely to occur.
		CPJ wrote, "Since March 24, the eve of NATO’s air strikes against the Milosevic regime, the Yugoslav government has been waging a war on the country’ independent journalist and media outlets.
		CPJ reporters also wrote that the organization "is saddened and angered by the cold-blooded assassination of Slavko Curuvija, a publisher and editor in chief of the Belgrade-based daily Dnevni Telegraf and the weekly Evropljanin."

	Narco News Writes an Open Letter to the Committee to Protect Journalists
		Journalists who are sentenced to prison or targeted for assassination include renowned newspaper editors and struggling provincial stringers, political polemicists and by-the-book news service reporters, star television correspondents and shoestring community radio activists.
		Because CPJ has already acknowledged that, in certain cases, Internet journalists are journalists worthy of protection, it seems that the endorsement and defense of this court victory (which was not appealed and is now final) would naturally be embraced by CPJ.
		Obviously, CPJ must respond to a large volume of cases and at times this work is akin to being in a MASH unit: you must practice a kind of triage and prioritize which cases are most important to publicize and advocate.

		The Committee to Protect Journalists is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization founded in 1981 to monitor and protest abuses against working journalists and their news organizations, regardless of their ideology or nationality.
		Although journalists go to very risky areas, don't you think that some consideration should be taken that a journalist should not be sent into an area that is particularly hostile toward his race, religion, sex, etc.
		What we at CPJ and many other journalists would much prefer would be that civilan prosecutorial authorities function well enough in countries that perpetrators of violent attacks against the press along with others may be prosecuted.

	Committee to Protect Journalists calls Algerian government of free journalists
		Committee to Protect Journalists wrote the Lagerian president earlier this month to: strongly protest Your Excellency's recent promulgation of a draconian decree further restricting freedom of expression, including sharp new limits on discussion of the conflict that ravaged Algeria in the 1990s.

		The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) is writing to condemn the recent crackdown on the independent press in Cuba.
		The harassment, arrest, detention, and imprisonment of journalists who have committed no crime other than to express their opinions is a clear violation of international law.
		Furthermore, the practice of jailing journalists because they are deemed "dangerous" is a flagrant violation of the most basic tenet of international human rights, the right to a presumption of innocence.
