When most people think of executive protection, or bodyguards in general, they tend to think of VIPs, celebrities, and high net worth individuals (HNWI). Though they may not always travel to hazardous locations, their risk is enhanced by virtue of their position or status. For journalists and media crews though, travelling to hazardous locations is often part of the job, thus provision sometimes needs to be made for risk management and personal security.
Episode Highlights:
- What’s the difference between executive protection for VIPs and protection for journalists and media crews?
- A typical example of a project in a volatile zone would be one where we supported a freelance journalists covering stories in Basra during hostilities in Iraq
- A key part of any risk management project is to remember that it’s not our role to set the agenda. With journalists, they usually have a pretty adventurous spirit and take more risks than most people
- With the advent of mobile phones and camcorders, it’s often the case that a journalist will travel without a production crew. This shouldn’t be used as an excuse to avoid risk management or bypass a security presence when it might still be in their best interests to do so.
- Travelling incognito
- Kidnapping - what to do
- Seek help, even if you think you can’t afford it
- 3 quick tips to wrap up
