Asiavision has taken a strong stand in support of the safety of journalists. Through the News Group it has endorsed the International News Safety Institute's wide-ranging safety code for journalists who work in hostile environments. Asiavision has also provided funding for journalist safety training in the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand. It held a seminar on news safety in Langkawi, Malaysia, on 1 April 2011 at which members drew up wide-ranging news safety guidelines. These were approved by the News Group in July 2011.

Famous quotes containing the words journalist and/or safety:
“Every journalist who is not too stupid or too full of himself to notice what is going on knows that what he does is morally indefensible. He is a kind of confidence man, preying on people’s vanity, ignorance, or loneliness, gaining their trust and betraying them without remorse.”
—Janet Malcolm (b. 1934)
“He had a gentleman-like frankness in his behaviour, and as a great point of honour as a minister can have, especially a minister at the head of the treasury, where numberless sturdy and insatiable beggars of condition apply, who cannot all be gratified, nor all with safety be refused.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
