Supporting Journalists
PEN America defends journalists against abuse, fights the spread of disinformation, and supports local journalism.
Journalists uphold democracy by providing essential information about what’s happening in our communities and holding the powerful to account. But they’re facing growing threats, online and off. By supporting journalists and championing fact-based reporting, PEN America is working to defend free speech and democracy.
