MODULE THREE – Safety and Security: Basic Concepts

Risk

    - YOU TAKE risk when you know that there is threat and you are exposed to it,
    and YOU DO NOT ENSURE measures to protect yourself.

    - When someone ventures into a dangerous situation despite knowing that it
    can harm them- Risk is INTENTIONAL on part of a journalist when they venture
    KNOWINGLY into a threatening situation.

    - Risk is a product of threat and vulnerability – There is danger (threat) and
    you are exposing (vulnerability) to it.
