Risk Management For Journalists (Hostile Crowds)

As a journalist, your role often places you at the heart of protests and large crowd events. While these gatherings can be a powerful platform for witnessing and reporting on pivotal moments, they can also quickly turn volatile. Recent events, such as the Yellow Vest Protests in France and the current racial unrest in the UK, have shown how rapidly a peaceful assembly can become hostile. Understanding the risks and being prepared is crucial for your safety and the integrity of your reporting.
