About Our Press and Media Relations

Freedom of the press is part of the fabric of our democracy. It acts as both a check against government power and a tool for enabling the public to make informed decisions. This is why we make media relations an essential facet of our work.

The ACLU of Utah has a Communications team to handle media inquiries and requests for comment. Our affiliate is mentioned in over 1.5K media stories per year.
