"Journalists' safety as well as media workers has become a subject of discussion on press freedom and the working condition of reporters following dangerous development on the media scene which has become a preoccupation with journalism professional bodies. As such, in order to achieve the objective of the study, qualitative research approach was used as the most tenable means of getting valuable data for this study; In-depth Interview (IDI) and focus group discussion (FGD) was selected as the research method for gathering relevant information. A sample size of 16 respondents was drawn using purposive sampling technique. The findings of the study revealed that journalists in Oyo State are aware of their safety. They agreed that journalism safety is the freedom the press has to perform their professional task without fear or intimidation. The study concluded that the issue of safety and protection of journalists in Nigeria must be given due consideration. The way and manner in which journalists lost their lives in trying to serve human needs on what is happening in the society is alarming. Furthermore, there is a need for media houses in Nigeria, especially in Oyo state to have safety policy that may guarantee the smooth operation of journalists. Training and retraining of journalists on safety issues is another measure that will create awareness on safety tips for journalists. The study recommended that media organisations in Nigeria and Oyo state in particular should have safety policy. By so doing, the safety and protection of journalists will be guarantee. There is also a need for training and retraining of journalists on safety issues in the media houses they are working for." (Abstract)
