Politics and elections
Reporters Committee attorneys provide free legal support to journalists who cover politics and elections at all levels of government. Our attorneys have fought to protect press freedoms for news outlets covering the White House, won access to records that powered both a documentary film on Reality Winner and a book on the Iraq War, advocated for greater transparency around impeachment proceedings, and more. The Reporters Committee also provides several free resources to help journalists prepare for elections coverage, including our Election Legal Guide and expanded support around political conventions.
