College campuses are in crisis. From active police presence on campuses, to active shooter drills, to protests, tensions on college campuses have been demonstrably difficult. This session will discuss best practices in preparing students for reporting crisis on campus. Crisis's where the student reporters may, in fact, have a pretty large stake. The panelists will discuss boots-on-the-ground experience, and provide insights on how to navigate experiences safely, and make sure reporting is neutral.
