Reporting in the field increasingly exposes journalists to complex safety, legal, and digital challenges — from covering ICE operations and protests to navigating surveillance tools and law enforcement encounters in cities like Los Angeles, Chicago, and beyond. Recent discussions among journalists have highlighted real and pressing concerns — from how reporters can safely navigate interactions with ICE, to how to distinguish between agencies such as ICE, local police, and the National Guard.
Join Jeff Belzil, Security Director, and Tat Bellamy-Walker, Program Coordinator, both at the International Women’s Media Foundation (IWMF), on Thursday, Nov. 20 at 2:00 p.m. ET (translate to your time zone) for a practical session on assessing and managing these risks. The IWMF team will share
- strategies on how to distinguish between law enforcement agencies,
- mitigating digital and on-the-ground threats,
- top tips for covering protests and ICE actions.
This webinar is part of a larger safety and security series brought to you in partnership with the International Women’s Media Foundation and is generously supported by the Ford Foundation.
