RISC is dedicated to promoting the safety of freelance journalists in combat zones.
We train and equip freelance journalists in all media to treat life-threatening injuries on the battlefield. Freelancers comprise the vast majority of those who cover wars, and consequently make up the vast majority of deaths and injuries. Surviving a gunshot or shrapnel wound is often a matter of doing the right thing in the first few minutes, and our training focuses on that brief, critical period of time. It is our hope to make first aid training the industry norm – like having a flak jacket or sat phone – and to prevent unnecessary deaths in a job that is so vital to human dignity and human rights.
We are currently raising funds for upcoming sessions in London and Beirut. Please help us provide crucial, life-saving skills to this group of courageous people… without them, we would have far less information available about the troubled times in which we live.
Donations can be made online at www.risctraining.org/donate or mailed to RISC c/o The Half King, 505-507 West 23rd Street, New York, NY, 10011.
