The vulnerability of journalists was once again cast into the spotlight in May when two of our colleagues were murdered in northeast Brazil. These two vicious attacks occurred during the same week that INSI travelled to Rio de Janeiro to train security advisors for our partner Globo TV. The killings represent a worrying increase in violence against the press in Brazil and underline the need for INSI to continue the important work we started in the South American country to train local trainers in media safety, so they can train their colleagues, and we can reach as many journalists as possible. Since we began working in Brazil in 2006, we are proud to have played a role supporting hundreds of Brazilian journalists in safety training. Under Threat was released ahead of World Press Freedom Day, and immediately generated strong interest from within the industry. The report, which can be read here, presents a sobering view of how media safety has changed over the past decade, and concludes that journalism has never been more dangerous and journalists have never felt more at risk. This notion of increasing insecurity was echoed in an interview we conducted with Al Jazeera journalist Peter Greste about safety, which we are pleased to share with you here. While taking part in World Press Freedom Day, we ran a safety training workshop in partnership with US-based media support group Internews, and, on our return to the UK, conducted safety training for MA journalism students at Cardiff University. Our assistant director Anna Bevan also travelled to Norway to talk at the Global Network for Rights and Development workshop about how journalists can better mitigate risks. INSI is encouraged to hear that the United Nations Security Council has recently adopted a resolution on the protection of journalists in conflict zones. While we welcome all steps to protect journalists, we know that these commitments must be followed through with real concrete steps to promote the safety and security of all media workers in conflict zones. We continue to be concerned about the situation facing journalists in various countries, and last week issued a safety advisory for our colleagues working in Burundi, which was written by British journalist Jessica Hatcher. If you are interested in contributing to future safety advisories, please get in touch. In the coming few weeks, we will be attending an OSCE journalism safety conference in Vienna, and continuing the conversation about how a set of industry-wide safety guidelines for freelancers can be better implemented. In addition, we will continue to update our colleagues on changes to media safety around the world and look forward to your continued support on this issue. Image by AFP of protests in Burundi.
