Both primary and secondary research was done to better understand journalists’ risks and legal protections and to assess journalism students’ knowledge of journalism’s risks, particularly as they relate to freelance journalists. Primary research included consulting with a professor who was an expert in international news and with one of Jim Foley’s former professors. In addition, students reached out to various news organizations that work to protect journalists, including the Committee to Protect Journalists, Reporters Instructed in Saving Colleagues, Columbia’s Dart Center, the Rory Peck Trust, the Canadian Journalism Forum on Violence and Trauma, and the Ochberg Society for Trauma Journalism.
