War Reporting an Issue in Suit Against ABC :
"LONDON -- If a reporter refuses to go to a war zone, can his employer fire him?
No, say a growing number of codes of practice for journalists worldwide, developed in response to the increasing danger of war reporting. The News Security Group, formed in 2000 to establish guidelines to protect journalists, says clearly that 'assignments to war zones or hostile environments must be voluntary.' Networks such as CNN, ABC News, CBS News and NBC News have all agreed to follow the guidelines."
