Abstract
Journalism research has shown that while attacks on journalists persist and intensify, countermeasures have largely been at the individual level, meaning that the burden of attacks has been left to journalists themselves. This article amplifies the need for systemic change by examining attacks on journalism from an occupational hazard lens. It draws on the case of violence against Filipino journalists to articulate a framework for institutional intervention.
