The International News Safety Institute (INSI) is a non-governmental organisation supporting the safety of journalists and media staff and opposing the persecution of journalists anywhere in the world. The Institute is a coalition of media organisations, press freedom groups, unions and humanitarian campaigners seeking to create a culture of safety in the media.

The working programme of the Institute provides an information service covering all aspects of news safety and includes an extensive programme of risk-awareness training for media staff in poorer regions where news gatherers are routinely under pressure, but where economic and social conditions deny them access to basic safety services.

The Institute is led and managed by media professionals and receives financial support from Reuters and CNN among other news organisations. It supports and contributes to a global network of press freedom groups and promotes safety standards that will make journalism safer and more professional.
