Our seminar in Prague entitled Killings and Kidnappings: How to Survive the Crisis drew nearly 80 people who were attending the annual News Xchange broadcast conference and came to hear from INSI how to manage a major crisis in their news organisation. The packed room was testimony to the fact that this is a major area of concern for many of our members and other media outlets around the world. Our kidnapping advisory, meanwhile, outlined how to survive being abducted. INSI is able to provide crisis management and other training to you and your staff so please get in touch at info@newssafety.org if you think we can help. At News Xchange, we were also thrilled to announce a partnership with the satellite phone manufacturer Thuraya and see supporters and board members at our annual general meeting held at Czech TV. We were also able to strengthen our partnership with the Frontline Club in London this month where we ran first aid refresher training for a dozen freelance journalists. Feedback was excellent. "As someone who cannot afford a three-day course, the INSI training was really useful. I thought it was really well organized, great team and nice to be such a small group," said one participant. We hope this is the first of many such events with our colleagues at the Frontline. Also in London, trauma expert Neil Greenberg gave a presentation on trauma to our regular meeting of the News Safety Group. The issue of trauma among news professionals both in the field and behind the scenes is coming under greater scrutiny with the increasingly graphic images coming from places like Syria and Iraq. Elsewhere, INSI director Hannah Storm took part in a panel discussion at the Royal United Services Institute on the dangers of reporting from war zones. The event, for RUSI’s under 35 members, included members of the armed forces for whom the relationship with the media is an important one. November marked the first ever International Day to End Impunity for Crimes Against Journalists. INSI’s news and projects manager Lisa Clifford attended a United Nations meeting in Strasbourg which evaluated the progress made so far on the UN Plan of Action on the Safety of Journalists and the Issue of Impunity. Progress has been slow so far on both the plan and the bringing to justice of those who are killing journalists. November also saw the fifth anniversary of the murders of 32 journalists and media workers from Maguindanao in the Philippines with no one yet convicted of participating in the bloodshed. And the deaths are continuing with colleagues in Somalia, Peru and Pakistan losing their lives.
