I saw this today and it made me go hmmm. A handbook on what to do and not do in a war zone. I thought most of it would be fairly logical but I guess as more newbie journalists and photographers try and make a name for themselves then it might be a useful to some. Here’s a excerpt from the blog.
‘Reporters Without Borders (with UNESCO) has compiled a Handbook for Journalists for those going to dangerous parts of the world, listing international norms protecting them and containing practical advice on how to stay alive and safe.
What are the basic rules in a war zone? What are the first things to do when somebody is wounded? What protection does a journalist have in a war zone? The handbook has the answers.’

Carl, I have to say I always found citing ‘international norms protecting’ me made all the difference whenever I’ve come across someone with a gun. Always does the trick.
