Our forum on Tuesday, Oct. 21, “How to Freelance Safely,” has been sold out. But for those who are not able to attend, we are planning to stream the event live on Google Hangouts.
This is our first attempt to stream a live panel, so please bear with us.
You can find a link to the broadcast here. The panel gets underway at 6:30 p.m.
An archive video of the event will be available after a few days.
Speakers include Bruce Shapiro, executive director of the Dart Center for Journalism and Trauma; Sawyer Alberi, chief trainer for RISC (Reporters Instructed in Saving Colleagues); Judith Matloff, a veteran foreign correspondent who teaches a safety training course at the Columbia University School of Journalism; Vaughn Smith, founder of London’s Frontline Club and member of the board of representatives for the Frontline Freelance Register (FFR); and Micah Garen, an independent documentary filmmaker and multimedia journalist and founder of Four Corners Media who has worked in conflict and post-conflict zones around the world including Iraq, Afghanistan and Egypt. Garen was kidnapped in southern Iraq and held for 10 days in 2004 while filming a documentary about the looting of archaeological sites.
The OPC is co-sponsoring the event with the Dart Center for Journalism and Trauma.
