- Do a risk assessment and plan - Get insurance, so you are covered in case the worst happens Top safety tips from Elisabet Cantenys of @ACOSalliance #FreelanceHacks #freelancing #journalism #Safety

Don't go on a project alone. Keep in communication every hr or 30min. Build relationships with people on the ground who could save and vouch for you. Top safety trips learned from real life experiences by @chrismatography #FreelanceHacks #journalism #safety #freelance

News outlets shoudn't outsource their risk and liability via working with freelancers. It's imptnt to have an honest conversation w/ your editor abt what u can do & how they can help. Elisabet Cantenys of @ACOSalliance #FreelanceHacks with @IJNet #journalism @safety #freelance

If u feel pressured to work on a dangerous project...Assess: Do you have health insurance, what contingencies do u have? Will it cost more to recover than to get the safety equipment & how much ur being paid? @chrismatography #FreelanceHacks with @IJNet #journalism @safety

"One of the most important lessons I gained from HEFAT training was that you have to prevent yourself from getting into the danger in the first place." @AliyaBashir #FreelanceHacks with @IJNet #journalism #Safety #freelancing #FreelanceJournalism

HEFAT training was important. We studied planning, self-defense and travel safety. Extremely important things to be self-sufficient, especially as a woman journalist. From @AliyaBashir #FreelanceHacks with @IJNet #journalism #Safety #freelancing #FreelanceJournalism

Great resource for editors on how to evaluate safety risks and organize your safety strategy! c1a6a674-8e44-478c-a978-fcc6… Brought to you by: @ACOSalliance #FreelanceHacks with @IJNet #journalism #Safety #freelancing #FreelanceJournalism

Editors need to have the same level of understanding of safety measures-editorial value vs. risk, does the journalist have access to safety training & eqpmnt? You can't afford to not think abt safety From Elisabet Cantenys of @ACOSalliance #FreelanceHacks with @IJNet #journalism

For safety it's a balance btwn effort by #freelancers & editors. We need to do a better job speaking up on the terms of assignments & hazard pay. Editors need to ask questions on equipment & make suggestions. From @chrismatography #FreelanceHacks with @IJNet #journalism #Safety

"As a freelancer you are always more vulnerable due to the lack of infrastructure in place--logistics support, teams, people keeping tabs on you. There's no one looking for you." From @AliyaBashir #FreelanceHacks with @IJNet #journalism #Safety #freelancing #FreelanceJournalism

"The key thing that COVID has taught us is that safety is a priority for all types of journalists from conflict to protest coverage to working indoors." From Elisabet Cantenys of @ACOSalliance #FreelanceHacks with @IJNet #journalism #Safety #freelancing #FreelanceJournalism

"The pandemic gave more powers to police and paramilitary forces and journalism seemed to be suspended in Kashmir. So it seemed that journalism became a casualty" @AliyaBashir #FreelanceHacks with @IJNet

"Covering protests during Covid...you have a alot of anxiety being stuck in a large crowd with some wearing masks and some not. " Suggestions: implement days of isolation after the protest @chrismatography eventbrite.com/e/freelanceha… #freelanceHacks #journalism

"There was a shift in learning how to work with COVID in mind. I began keeping a change of clothes in his car, at the door to his home, cleaning equipment immediately after an assignment, masks, alcohol, you name it." @chrismatography shares! eventbrite.com/e/freelanceha…
