| Evaluation / Book review. | ||||
| The increasing number of journalists killed in Africa because of their work is a source of grave concern. The International News Safety Institute recorded 199 journalists and support staff who have died at work in Africa between 1990 and 2006. Eighteen have died in just the first six months of this year, the worst situation since 1999. In this context, INSI, in association with the International Federation of Journalists, has launched Live News Africa, a guide to help journalists and other news professionals anticipate danger and to reduce risk during hazardous assignments on the continent. The 100-page manual deals with themes such as covering wars and other conflicts, disturbances and disasters, as well as coping with kidnapping, medical emergencies and post-traumatic stress. Information in Live News Africa comes from professional safety trainers, experienced African war correspondents and trauma specialists. [...] Copies of Live News Africa can be obtained from INSI's Headquarters in Brussels, e-mail info@newssafety.com and from the INSI Africa Regional office in Senegal, email africa@newssafety.com An electronic version is available in English on the INSI website www.newssafety.com and the IFJ website www.ifj.org Source: International News Safety Institute press release, Brussels, 06/07/2007 |
