Guidelines on reporting from armed conflict/war zones

Reporting from armed conflict/war zones is the biggest challenge for media workers and at the same time the most complicated and difficult task. In addition to the fact that military activities in their essence carry a certain risk with respect to safe working conditions and the risk of losing their lives, media workers are exposed to a number of other dangers on the ground. When a country is in a state of war, the regulations on what is allowed and how a foreign citizen should behave in that country on the ground are constantly changing.

Media workers who do not know or do not follow the changes in these regulations risk being arrested/detained by national authorities. Journalists and videographers in the field, not only need to be aware of the dangers that threaten their lives and freedom of movement, but they also need to be aware that through their reporting or publishing of various types of content (videos) they might cause harm with deadly consequences.
