"Those who threaten and murder journalists must be punished"

Since I joined the International News Safety Institute (INSI) in 2010, hundreds of journalists have been killed around the world. In that time, thousands of our colleagues have courageously continued their work despite frequent threats against them and those closest to them.

We marked International Day to End Impunity for Crimes Against Journalists in November by remembering colleagues who have been killed this year doing their work.

Jair Bolsonaro’s campaign for the Brazilian presidency was notable for its aggressive, right-wing tone, particularly the attacks he made on the media.

Today, 2 November, is the International Day to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists.

Reporters murdered amid rising anti-media rhetoric

High profile killings, threats and angry rhetoric against journalists and news outlets made October a particularly dangerous month for members of the media trying to do their jobs around the world.

We were thrilled to hold our first News Safety Group in Montreal, which was hosted by INSI member CBC Radio-Canada, and brought together Canadian media to discuss security issues for journalists in North America.

The changing perception of journalists from positive to negative by the public may have grown exponentially in the past few years, thanks mostly to the Trump presidency south of the border, but it’s been going on for longer than that.

As Hurricane Florence and Super Typhoon Mangkhut batter parts of the United States and southeast Asia, INSI has some advice for journalists covering natural disasters.

The 15th Annual General Meeting of the International News Safety Institute (INSI) will take place this year in Edinburgh on 13 November.

The election taking place on 9 September in Sweden has brought with it heated debate and intensified the public conversations taking place between citizens, politicians and journalists - both on and offline.
