MODULE THREE – Safety and Security: Basic Concepts
Risk
-
- YOU TAKE risk when you know that there is threat and you are exposed to it,
and YOU DO NOT ENSURE measures to protect yourself.
- When someone ventures into a dangerous situation despite knowing that it
can harm them- Risk is INTENTIONAL on part of a journalist when they venture
KNOWINGLY into a threatening situation.
- Risk is a product of threat and vulnerability – There is danger (threat) and
you are exposing (vulnerability) to it.
