Safety clinics for journalists and editors

ACOS Alliance in partnership with the Committee to Protect Journalists is offering free one to one safety clinics for journalists, editors and news managers attending this year’s festival. These tailored 50-minute consultations, led by international safety experts, are relevant to journalism professionals at all stages of their career who are looking for practical advice and guidance on a specific issue, assignment, story or situation. They are particularly useful for those who already have a basic knowledge of safety.
Individual consultations can cover any of the following topics:
> physical safety and risk assessment
> digital security and surveillance
> online harassment
> legal safety
> psychological safety, trauma management and self-care
> newsroom safety protocols
> safety responsibilities as an editor / duty of care
All clinics must be pre-booked. Places are strictly limited so priority will be given to those who book their spot online before the start of the festival. 50-mins slots are available during the following days/ hours:
> Thursday 10 April: 14:00 - 18.30
> Friday 11 April: 09:00 - 13:30
> Saturday 12 April: 14:00 - 18:30
Please book here. The clinics will take place at #Spazio, Via Luigi Bonazzi 57, Perugia.
Note: all those who attend a safety clinic will have the option to sign up for a quick spyware device scan.
