De-escalation and disengagement support for high-friction reporting, including protests, door knocks, and public meetings.
I help teaching newsrooms, student media, and local outlets to set up clear safety policies and everyday workflows so reporters can do the job without burning out or getting hurt.
Built-in de-escalation scripts and clear disengagement thresholds so reporters can exit early and safely.
This is for the people who assign stories, approve risk, and respond when something goes wrong.
We start with a fast assessment across four areas. Then we fix what will actually reduce risk right now.
A review of your current practices plus a 90 day plan for what to fix first.
A plain language safety guide, editor or faculty protocols, and short training modules you can reuse.
Ongoing support for assignment planning, incident response, and keeping your safety system current.
Built for a teaching newsroom and used across the department. Now adapted for other programs and local outlets.
