Isis releases 11-point guide for journalists
Matthew ChampionOct 07, 2014
Isis, which calls itself Islamic State, has occupied the world's attention since it took over large swathes or Syrian and Iraqi territory this year, eventually declaring a new caliphate. But precious little is known about the group, which has its own surprisingly slick PR machine, mainly because its record with journalists is tragically abysmal - militants sparked global revulsion by beheading US reporters James Foley and Stephen Sotloff, as well as killing many other local journalists. Somehow, some journalists continue to report from the region, defying the incredible risks to document the group's many atrocities against not just journalists but Shia Muslims and religious and ethnic minorities.

they are subjects of the Islamic State and, as subjects, they are obliged to swear loyalty to their imam. 2 Their work will be under the exclusive supervision of the Isis media offices. 3 Journalists can work directly with international news agencies (such as Reuters, AFP and AP), but they are to avoid all international and local satellite TV channels.
They are forbidden to provide any exclusive material or have any contact (sound or image) with them in any capacity. 4 Journalists are forbidden to work in any way with the TV channels placed on the blacklist of channels that fight against Islamic countries (such as Al-Arabiya, Al Jazeera and Orient).
