About us
We’re the Alliance for
Journalists’ Freedom
The Public’s Right to Know: The AJF promotes media freedom and the right of journalists to report the news in freedom and safety. This includes working with Australian governments to ensure legislation supports media freedom.
When journalists are silenced, democracy and human rights suffer. We campaign in the Asia–Pacific region, wherever journalists are censored, threatened, imprisoned or killed.
