News editors: ensure you've done a risk assessment taking this into account. And reporters : assess risk dynamically and stop working if it becomes unsafe.

Well done to BBC Humberside for staying live and local last night with all the latest news from Hull City Centre. My old mate James Hoggarth doing a sterling job and wishing he didn’t have to do it at all. And on TV, Leanne Brown showing why she is a top class journalist

A couple of points of order : 1. The LDRS was partly set up to fill that gap, and benefits hyper locals as well as legacy brands 2. The BBC still (thankfully) has a Political Reporter in all 39 Local Radio stations who frequently attend.
