Peter Arnett, a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, helped the world understand war through clear, courageous reporting from Vietnam and the Gulf War. He set the standard for bearing witness and telling the truth under the hardest conditions. His legacy lives on for generations.

Events like this are a reminder that journalists must be able to report safely and without interference. Even in tense, fast-moving situations, their presence is essential to the public’s right to know — and safeguarding that access is a cornerstone of a free & independent press.

The Marion County Record has now won $3 million and an apology. You can raid a newsroom. You can seize computers. You can try to scare reporters. But you can’t silence a free press. Ever. #pressfreedom @PressClubDC @PFC_NPC apnews.com/article/kansas…

.@PressClubDC statement on today’s actions that led dozens of Pentagon reporters to surrender their credentials.

Today the Pentagon Press Corps handed over our badges and walked out in unison in defense of the First Amendment. It’s an unprecedented attack on the public’s right to know and the end of one of the most professional press relationships in DC.

VOA was built to fight propaganda and deliver facts. Undermining its reporting capacity would undercut America’s credibility and deny millions worldwide reliable information.

A federal judge just stopped mass layoffs that would have gutted Voice of America — silencing hundreds of journalists and weakening one of the U.S.’ most important global newsrooms. @PressClubDC @PFC_NPC @savevoanow

Journalists built this Club with pocket change in 1908. They built it because they needed each other. That hasn’t changed. #NPCHistory #StrongerTogether

We’re heartbroken by the passing of Frank Aukofer, our 1978 president and a steady, familiar presence for decades. He never stopped showing up for the Club — or for journalism. He meant a lot to this place. He’ll be deeply missed. — Mike Balsamo, 118th President, @PressClubDC

Today we remember the men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. At @PressClubDC, where the First Amendment is our guiding light, we know freedom isn’t free. Our right to report, speak & gather exists because of their sacrifice. We honor them with gratitude.

This Memorial Day, we reflect on those who gave their lives to defend American values, including freedom of the press. The Pentagon’s new policy restricts journalists’ ability to do their jobs & limits the public’s right to know. @PressClubDC statement: press.org/newsroom/natio…

Journalism took the Preakness today. Not the first time it’s led from the front — and certainly not the last. A good day for fast horses and a free press. 🥇🙌

Journalists risk everything to bring truth to light. Pope Leo XIV’s call is a powerful reminder: this is a global fight for press freedom. Austin Tice has been missing 12 years. 10 VOA, RFE/RL & RFA journalists remain imprisoned. The fight isn’t over. apnews.com/article/pope-l…
