Strengthening Safety & Security Resources for Visual Storytellers and Journalists: A Scoping Study
[authors] (2022), 114 pp.
"This study looks into the safety and security needs, resources and environment of visual storytellers and journalists, with a focus on independent documentary filmmakers. The study was commissioned by the International Resource for Impact and Study (IRIS) and the Ford Foundation out of a concern that while there are significant threats to the safety of visual storytellers and journalists, few safety and protection resources are available to them particularly in emergency situations."
