Description: Join Cincinnati SPJ for its free Zoom webinar, “How Can Journalists and Police Work Together Effectively?” on Thursday, July 9 from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. (EST.)
The panel of experts including law enforcement officials and local journalists will discuss some of the challenges --and solutions-- for reporters, photographers and videographers as they cover the news.
With a focus on police/journalist relations -- specifically, what can journalists and law enforcement do together in these situations to help de-escalate the situation?
