South African journalist Sahm Venter has written an article over at Poynter Online based on the conclusions of her study of TV camera operators and producers – both staff members and freelancers – working for Associated Press Television News and and Reuters TV. In the year 2000 these two agencies along with CNN, BBC and ITN, drew up a common safety policy to advance the safety of media working in dangerous situations and the idea behind her study was to do a follow-up to see how that policy is working in practice five years on.
At the end of the article are comments from Reuters TV and from APTN, as well as a link to the 100ish page full thesis [PDF, 440kb].
