Module Seven: Coverage of insecure events

Working in Hostile Environment

    You may follow the five steps process for coverage of insecure events:

    4. After the Event

    - What is the policy of your news organisation? If it is not possible to protect material
    within the country, is it possible to set up a system so that
    film of civil disturbance is archived outside the country?
    - Remember that your ability to do your job safely is adversely affected if the police
    are given access to your material after demonstrations and civil
    unrest. You are put at serious risk, if those taking part in a riot see you
    as part of the evidence gathering process.
