Handbook for journalists

The Handbook for Journalists was written by Reporters Sans Frontières in collaboration with the Defence Communications and Information Delegation (DICoD) to assist journalists covering conflict zones.

The Handbook brings together basic texts affirming the principle of freedom of the press as well as charters and declarations relating to professional ethics.

The Handbook for Journalists gives rules for self-protection in dangerous situations (riots, snipers, kidnappings, ambushes, roadblocks, etc.) and when these precautions fail, initial actions that can save the wounded.

The Handbook is available at Reporters Sans Frontières.
