By In an effort to provide more professional development opportunities for our colleagues, SDABJ will host a panel discussion o
n the best ways for journalists to stay safe out in the field. Whether a broadcast reporter has a brawny photographer to watch his back or a radio reporter is armed with only her recording gear, all journalists want to avoid being the story as a result of being in a dangerous situation. Moderated by San Diego Union Tribune courts reporter Dana Littlefield, the panel will include Kendal Bortisser of Cal Fire, Jon Brady from CW 6 San Diego, Lt. Herbert Taft from the San Diego Sheriff’s department, self defense expert Mike Yatsko and Fox 5 reporter Robert Burns. The discussion will include first-hand stories from members of the media as well as best practices from law enforcement. Join us at 630p on Tuesday, August 30, 2016 at the NBC 7 studios, 9680 Granite Ridge Dr. San Diego 92123. Deadline to RSVP (required) is August 24th.
