Today we are launching the News Organisations Safety Self-Assessment, a new resource that will help news outlets to review and improve their current safety practices and protocols.

After almost nine years at the International News Safety Institute I am moving on. But before I go, I wanted to reflect on the extraordinary changes our industry has been through over the past decade and the impact they’ve had on the safety of our colleagues.

Journalism classrooms may be dominated by women, but global media are still ruled by men, who occupy the majority of management positions, report more stories and are more frequently presented as expert voices. 

INSI is delighted to announce that Elena Cosentino is to be our new director.
