International News Safety Institute
On a proposal from the IFJ and in co-operation with the International Press Institute and more than 100 other professional organisations, press freedom groups, international media, and national journalists' associations a new global media safety network was established at the beginning of 2003 — the International News Safety Institute. Formally launched on World Press Freedom Day, the institute is dedicated to the safety of journalists and media staff and committed to fighting the persecution of journalists everywhere. It also promotes safety standards that will make journalism safer and more professional.
