Read our accompanying article 'Finding the balance – when is reporting from a danger zone worth it?' that explores how journalists balance the importance of seeking the truth (wherever that might take them) with ensuring their personal safety - and how can editors support them. By Colette Davidson

The News Organizations Safety Self-Assessment is a new resource that helps news outlets to review and improve their current safety practices and protocols.

This resource is a collaboration between the ACOS Alliance and the Committee to Protect Journalists, the Dart Center for Journalism & Trauma, Free Press Unlimited, Frontline Freelance Register, the International Federation of Journalists, International News Safety Institute, International Media Support, International Press Institute, the International Women’s Media Foundation and the World Association of Newspapers and News Publishers.

The Committee to Protect Journalists has produced a four-part Safety Kit that provides journalists and newsrooms with basic safety information on physical, digital and psychological safety resources and tools.
