Hotline

The Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press is hosting two free webinars in May and June to help journalists understand their rights to attend, report on and photograph protests and court proceedings.

The Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press will partner with premier local law firms in Florida and North Carolina to operate special 24-hour Media Hotlines for journalists who may be impeded or arrested while covering the upcoming political conventions in Tampa and Charlotte. The hotlines, which have been arranged by the Reporters Committee for national party conventions for the last 40 years, will ensure that free legal assistance to reporters and photographers covering the Republican and Democratic National Conventions will be only a telephone call away.
