This workshop provides useful tools for news organisations and editorial teams to review and improve safety practices and protocols that affect both the newsroom and journalists out in the field. We will focus on “easy wins” - editing and security practices that can be implemented with minimal cost and rapid deployment. We will address office security, best practices for commissioning dangerous assignments, and key elements for creating a robust safety policy and set of protocols. All of these can save the lives of reporters, and your company - investing in building a robust safety policy and associated protocols can save your organisation from the financial loss and reputational damage of a crisis that could have been prevented and avoided, or could have been carefully managed.
