First aid videos - Committee to Protect Journalists

Journalists face the risk of serious injuries while on both dangerous and routine assignments. In situations when emergencies lead to severe injury, journalists should be prepared to deal with medical complications in order reduce the severity of injuries and to save both their lives and the lives of their colleagues.

CPJ’s series of First Aid videos to supplement training and enhance journalists’ medical preparedness can be easily downloaded on to a mobile phone and carried into an assignment.
