ANEM organized a training session for the safety of journalists employed by Wireless Media Group.

Considering the events in the country over the past few months and the increasing number of pressures and attacks on journalists and the media, experienced lecturer and journalist Branko Čečen shared his insights on security with employees. This training covered several thematic areas, including journalists' mental health, digital, social, and legal security, as well as physical security concerning reporting from protests.

In discussions with journalists, editors, and management regarding physical security, topics included what actions can be taken, risk analysis, communication protocols, emergency situations, the ability to predict events, and how newsrooms can better organize themselves.

The goal of the training is to raise awareness about security within newsrooms that report from the field and to establish protocols for the protection of journalists and media workers.

So far, similar training sessions have been held at Radio-Television Vojvodina (RTV), the Beta agency, and the newspaper Danas, and ANEM will conduct training in other newsrooms facing increased security risks in the near future.

The training is organized as part of the "System for Preventing Violence and Protecting Journalists" project, implemented by ANEM in partnership with Insajder TV and the Center for the Development of Local Media, with the support of the European Union.
