For over seven decades, ABPS has stood as the most trusted national voice for journalists across India — fighting for their rights, securing their welfare, building their skills, and upholding the highest standards of media ethics. From the largest metros to the smallest districts, our members carry the spirit of fearless, truthful journalism every single day.
Every initiative ABPS undertakes is rooted in one of these three core commitments — protecting journalists, empowering them, and building the ecosystem they deserve.
ABPS monitors and responds to threats against journalists across India. We file legal interventions, issue press freedom alerts, engage with government bodies and international press freedom organisations to ensure every journalist can work without fear.
From accidental insurance to educational support for journalists' children — ABPS runs comprehensive welfare programmes ensuring that every member and their family has a safety net, especially in times of crisis.
The media landscape is changing rapidly. ABPS equips journalists with the skills they need — digital journalism, fact-checking, data reporting, investigative techniques and leadership — through workshops, fellowships and national programmes.
