The DSMA Notice System

Welcome to the website of the Defence and Security Media Advisory (DSMA) Committee

Does any other country have anything similar to the DSMA-Notice System?

A survey of 15 countries in 2010 found that none had comparable arrangements to provide guidance to the Media to prevent inadvertent disclosure of information that might put at risk the safety of those involved in military or intelligence operations; or lead to attacks that would damage the critical national infrastructure or endanger lives. However, most countries do have a similar official secrets act or acts; and a professional journalist code of conduct.
