Schibsted Norway joins INSI

The importance of free media for democracy can hardly be exaggerated. Still, we can see a development across the world where the very cornerstones of liberal democracy are being challenged in a way they haven't been for a very long time.

The number of media workers killed for doing their jobs rose to 73 last year, with countries not traditionally regarded as hostile environments among the most dangerous places for journalists, according to INSI’s 2018 Killing the Messenger report.

Hannah Storm has announced her resignation as Director of the International News Safety Institute (INSI). She will leave the organisation in March.

The International News Safety Institute (INSI) is delighted to welcome the Norwegian arm of the Schibsted Media Group to the INSI network.

Without journalism safety, there can be no press freedom

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.
