International Journalism Committee
The International Journalism Committee works to improve and protect
international journalism and encourage the free practice of journalism in all
countries.
For the purposes of this committee, international journalism is
defined as any journalism that involves foreign journalists, that takes place
overseas, or that deals with international affairs.
To improve international journalism, the committee will do some
or all of the following:
— Write articles about international journalism for Quill.
— Put together a panel on a topic related to international journalism at the
annual convention.
— Lend assistance to journalists when they ask for our help, both American and
foreign, to the extent we are able to do so.
— Create resources of use to international journalists and make them available
via the Web, printed guidebooks, or other means to both foreign and American
journalists.
— Find ways to bring foreign journalists to the U.S. and American journalists
overseas for fellowships, conferences, and other educational purposes.
To protect international journalism, the committee will do some or all of the following:
— Draft press releases and letters on behalf of international
journalism or international journalists.
— Lobby Congress in favor of measures that support international journalism.
— Work with other organizations on international projects related to freedom
of speech, freedom of information, and similar issues.
— Act as a watchdog on U.S. government agencies that may attempt to restrict
international journalism.
