You see the headline.

You don’t see the journalist chasing the story for months,

the whistleblower hiding in a motel room,

the lawyer working overnights fighting off a subpoena,

or the therapist helping sources sleep at night.

We see it all.

And we are there — so they don’t have to stand alone.

This World Press Freedom Day, support the people behind the truth.

These critical roles in support of a free and independent press which often relies on information from sensitive sources would be adversely impacted by the President's executive orders targeting law firms like Perkins Coie.

TSN is proud to have joined 60 organizations in this important amicus brief. "The press plays a vital role in the maintenance of democratic governance," the filing states. "To fulfill that function, the press relies on the work of lawyers...[who]...assist the press in obtaining access to records and government spaces...advise the press on how to handle sensitive sources and content. And they defend the press against civil and criminal threats for their publications."

Whistleblowers exposing unethical actions in unregulated areas, like AI, face unique challenges. Unlike those revealing illegal activities, these whistleblowers could lack legal protection, making their role even more critical in bringing attention to potential harm.

It’s essential that we support these whistleblowers to ensure accountability and ethics in growing industries.

“While Potter acknowledges the risks of defection, he’s made clear that he’s willing to help any current insiders who might want to take a step toward becoming vocal critics of the industry, and is working with a whistleblower nonprofit, The Signals Network, to encourage more to come forward. ‘I hope there will be more,’ he says, adding that the big insurers now find themselves in a more precarious situation than they’ve seen ‘in many years.’" @NYMag
