Series III: Clippings Files, 1981-2008

CPJ kept clippings files of stories that either mentioned the CPJ's work or cited CPJ as a source. CPJ used a clipping service to help document this news coverage.

Subseries III.1: CPJ in the News, 1996 December-2006 June

CPJ created, photocopied, and distributed sets of clippings via a quasi-publication called CPJ in the News. These sets are filed chronologically; if specific topics were noted on the cover page of the set, the topics are noted in the container list.
