Expressing deep gratitude on behalf of the people of the United States to the journalists and news staff who risked threats of injury and death to chronicle the horrendous details of the insurrection on January 6, 2021.

House Resolution 51 is a formal statement of appreciation from the House of Representatives honoring the journalists and news media personnel who reported from the U.S. Capitol during the events of January 6, 2021. The resolution officially condemns the threats, harassment, and physical violence directed toward members of the press while they documented the day's events. As a "simple resolution," this measure does not create new laws or provide funding, but rather serves as a formal expression of the sense of the House regarding the role of the free press in a democracy.
