"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." Christian Monterrosa shares! eventbrite.com/e/freelancehac…

"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 Christian Monterrosa eventbrite.com/e/freelancehac… #freelanceHacks #journalism

"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" Aliya Bashir #FreelanceHacks with IJNet

"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 ACOS Alliance #FreelanceHacks with IJNet #journalism #Safety #freelancing #FreelanceJournalism

"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 Aliya Bashir #FreelanceHacks with IJNet #journalism #Safety #freelancing #FreelanceJournalism

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 Christian Monterrosa #FreelanceHacks with IJNet #journalism #Safety

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 ACOS Alliance #FreelanceHacks with IJNet #journalism

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 Aliya Bashir #FreelanceHacks with IJNet #journalism #Safety #freelancing #FreelanceJournalism

"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." Aliya Bashir #FreelanceHacks with IJNet #journalism #Safety #freelancing #FreelanceJournalism

We'll be going LIVE on Zoom in 15 minutes for our discussion on #mentalhealth for freelance journalists. Join us! eventbrite.co.uk/e/under-pressu…

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? Christian Monterrosa #FreelanceHacks with IJNet #journalism Safety
