International Press Institute

The International Press Institute (IPI), founded in 1950, is a global network of editors, media executives and leading journalists from newspapers, magazines, radio, TV and news agencies in over 100 nations. Its main objectives are to defend and promote press freedom, organise media campaigns against press freedom violations and publish studies of governmental pressure on the media. IPI carries out on-the-spot investigations in areas where press freedom appears to be endangered. IPI promotes the free exchange of news and the free flow of information regardless of national boundaries, aims to ensure the safety of journalists, to allow them to work without interference and to improve the standards and practices of journalism. IPI’s primary aim is to further freedom of the press. The Institute takes action to oppose violations of this freedom wherever and however they occur.
