Support Your Right to Know
Every day, journalists are being maligned, insulted and diminished, all while aggressively working to uncover hard truths, keeping the powerful honest and ensuring we are all informed. We live in a complex, busy world and we need the work of professional journalists now more than ever. That’s why the Society of Professional Journalists is on the frontlines of passionate advocacy for ethical journalism, but we can’t do it without your help.
When you make a gift to SPJ and the Society of Professional Journalists Foundation, you support those leading the fight for the First Amendment. Since 1909, SPJ has served as a strong voice for ethical journalism, providing vital training for thousands of journalists and protecting our right to be informed.
Your gift is an investment in your right to know!
