A new venture in training journalists to be more prepared for dealing with injury in the field is already putting graduates out into the field.
RISC, founded by war journalist Sebastian Junger, is a nonprofit that gives battlefield first aid training to freelance journalists. Inspired by the knowledge that reporters on location could potentially save a life with some training, Junger got financial backing and started trainings.
RISC will give trainings in 2012 in NYC, London and Beirut.
