Reporters Committee For Freedom Of The Press

Our Mission

The Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press (RCFP) is the first and only national organization whose sole purpose is to provide pro bono legal services to journalists. Our mission is to protect the right to gather and distribute the news; to keep government accountable by ensuring access to public records, meetings and courtrooms; and to preserve the principles of free speech and unfettered press, as guaranteed by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
