The NewsGuild Presents: Journalist Safety Workshop

Any member who has attended IAPE 101 has heard us say it: connecting with and following The NewsGuild—IAPE’s parent union—is a great way to learn about union matters affecting our industry. Another benefit of Guild membership is the opportunity to attend industry-specific trainings designed to protect our jobs and our members.

With that in mind, we are happy to share an invitation to join a TNG Committee to Defend Free Press event on August 4 at 8:00 p.m. EDT.

Entitled, “Journalist Safety Workshop: Protect Yourself, Protect Your Colleagues, Protect The Free Press,” this Zoom class is designed to equip media workers with the tools, knowledge, and resources to navigate dangerous situations—whether on assignment, online, or in the workplace.

Register to attend at bit.ly/GuildSafety.

Agenda highlights for this workshop include personal stories of journalists covering protests (with a breakout session: How to protect yourself on assignment), a know-your-rights safety training (another breakout session: Protect your union through collective bargaining), lessons from the field: bargaining for press safety at the Southern California News Group, and we’ll end the session with group reflections and discussion.

All Guild members—and that means IAPE members—are welcome. Get your individual invitation by registering at bit.ly/GuildSafety.
