Guidelines of assistance
RSF membership is required for some form of assistance, including borrowing bulletproof vests, which also requires a 2,000 euro deposit. The RSF website also provides a series of guidebooks for journalists seeking specific kinds of assistance.
Description
RSF supports journalists around the world by reporting violations against press freedoms, mobilizing public and government support for journalists at risk, putting pressure on governments to institute media-friendly policies, and protecting journalists by giving material support such as bulletproof vests, grants, or training. With offices in 10 cities around the world, RSF has the resources to exert political and legal influence both globally and on a local scale.
