Dear LA-based journalists, if you're reporting on the protests, here's a statement from SPJ LA that will be useful for you:
As immigration protests continue throughout LA County, SPJ/LA strongly reminds journalists to prioritize their safety while reporting in the field. FULL STATEMENT: spjla.org/news/spjla-cal…
A nationwide group of 27 press rights and civil liberties organizations, sent a letter to DHS Director Kristi Noem expressing alarm at reports that federal officers may have violated journalists’ First Amendment rights during protests in LA. spjla.org/news/first-ame…
We are monitoring the protests for any interactions with law enforcement that interfere with reporting and safety in doing so. Please reach out if this is the case. DM for survey link or email us, can also DM for Signal
