Event Coverage Highlight

Please register now for the OPC’s July 14 workshop, which is free to OPC members. This two-hour program will be conducted by Global Journalist Security via Zoom at noon Eastern Time.

The workshop will be limited to 30 people to allow ample time for questions. There is no charge: The OPC is footing the bill as a service to members during these trying times. As a result, only OPC members in good standing are eligible to participate. (Those whose dues are paid-up for 2019-20 and honorary members such as current award winners and this year’s OPC Foundation scholars).

This live workshop covers best practices with a focus on journalists covering civil unrest and major political events, including upcoming Republican and Democratic National Conventions. The curriculum includes situational awareness, “tactical” breathing, crowd dynamics, police operations, line of sight, safe navigation and teamwork, riot dispersal equipment, personal protective gear, concealment versus cover, and active shooter response.

The Zoom link will be emailed to participants the morning of the event.
