Empowering journalists
Safety resources for every reporter
Our mission is to empower journalists with the knowledge and skills needed to report safely and effectively in hazardous environments. We are committed to providing comprehensive education, with the most current and relevant information, for journalists in The United States and around the world. Our aim is to equip journalists with the knowledge, skills, and abilities to navigate the challenges of reporting in areas affected by crisis, including natural disasters, civil unrest, high-threat situations, and conflict.
We will improve the physical safety and security, emotional resilience, and mental wellbeing of journalists. Crisis Ready Media is committed to supporting those who work tirelessly to bring important news to the public, ensuring that they can do so while minimizing risks to their personal and professional well-being.
We are dedicated to fostering a culture of safety within the journalism community. Crisis Ready Media will move beyond educational environments to conduct research and provide hazardous environment reporting for partnering non-profit organizations
Crisis Ready Reports
The Crisis Ready Report gives journalists timely, practical safety insights for assignments in risky environments. Each update includes threat updates, gear advice, or lessons learned from field experience. Reading it helps journalists stay informed, aware, and better prepared for challenging reporting situations.
