Under Attack: Practicing Journalism in a Dangerous World examines the key issues surrounding threats to the physical safety of journalists, particularly in countries with hostile media environments. The report by Bill Ristow, a journalist and international journalism trainer based in Seattle, provides a clear look at the problem of violence against journalists and offers some potential solutions.
Drawing on the experience of press freedom experts, and the insights of some of those on the front lines of the violence, Ristow recommends more targeted coordination of efforts by international organizations, increased investment in safety training programs, and a tougher policy approach on the part of governments and multilaterals toward countries that condone journalists’ killings.
