Episode 5: Press Under Fire - When Can Journalists Be Targeted in War?

In this episode of the Red Cross International Humanitarian Law Team 3 Podcast, Jiya Joshi, Team 3 Vice, explores when—if ever—journalists and media organizations can legally be targeted during armed conflict. Using guidance from the International Committee of the Red Cross, the Customary IHL Database, and Article 79 of Additional Protocol I, we examine the legal protections for journalists and debate how modern media and real-time reporting challenge the laws of war.
