Electronic Media Reporters Association (EMRA) President Mohammad Asif Butt, EMRA Secretary Saleem Sheikh and EMRA Body’s important message to the media owners for the health and well-being of journalistic workers in a critical situation like coronavirus.
EMRA President Muhammad Asif Butt said that we appeal to the media owners to ensure that in case of a serious situation like Corona virus, field reporters, cameramen and DSNGs are implementing SOPs. They should be provided with masks, gloves and hand sanitizers so that they can protect themselves and their families from the spread of coronavirus while performing their journalistic responsibilities in the field.
EMRA body appreciates the initiative taken by City42 Media Group and Hum News Channel to provide safety kits and other safety equipment to reporters and cameramen working in the field, including protective kits and protective equipment for journalistic workers. We are grateful for the steps taken.
Similarly, the owners of other media houses should like the management of City 42 Group and Hum News Channel send their reporters, cameramen and other field staff to major cities infected with Corona virus like Lahore, Multan, Islamabad, Rawalpindi and Karachi should provide them with safety kits and protective clothing to those performing their duties. So that they can protect their lives as well as the lives of their family and friends from those infected with the virus. Coronavirus can only be prevented by taking precautions.
The use of masks, gloves, hand sanitizers and protective kits is essential to prevent the spread of the reporting virus.
Be limited … be safe.
Save yourself and save others too, Corona leaves no one behind: EMRA
