The World Needs A Journalist Rescue Fund

Modeled on a successful program for protecting scholars threatened by their regimes, a similar project for journalists could help advance security for reporters working under conditions of limited press freedom. A well endowed Journalist Rescue Fund would have a profound, practical and immediate impact on preserving hard-won freedoms in many countries, and in ensuring a legacy that goes well beyond individual institutions.
