Book description: This book explores the relationship between the safety 
of journalists and self-censorship practices around the world, including 
local case studies and regional and international perspectives.

Bringing together scholars and practitioners from around the globe, 
Journalist Safety and Self-Censorship provides new and updated insights 
into patterns of self-censorship and free speech, focusing on a variety 
of factors that affect these issues, including surveillance, 
legislation, threats, violent conflict, gender-related stereotypes, 
digitisation and social media. The contributions examine topics such as 
trauma, risk and self-censorship among journalists in different regions 
of the world, including Central America, Estonia, Turkey, Uganda and 
Pakistan. The book also provides conceptual clarity to the notion of 
journalist self-censorship, and explores the question of how 
self-censorship may be studied empirically.
Combining both theoretical and practical knowledge, this collection 
serves as a much-needed resource for any academic, student of 
journalism, practicing journalist, or NGO working on issues of 
journalism, safety, free speech and censorship.
