Covering Elections: Journalist Safety Kit

by the Committee to Protect Journalists


DURING ELECTIONS, journalists frequently cover rallies, campaign events, and protests, which can increase their risk of being attacked, harassed, and detained. CPJ’s Emergencies Response Team (ERT) has compiled a Safety Kit with information for editors, reporters, and photojournalists on how to prepare for elections and how to mitigate digital, physical and psychological risk.

CPJ’sĀ Journalist Security GuideĀ has additional information onĀ basic preparedness andĀ assessing and responding to risk. CPJ’s resource center has additional information and tools forĀ pre-assignment preparationĀ andĀ post-incident assistance.
