"It's not funny": When Journalists are Harassed, Slapped and Even Punched on the Job

  • Sumário

  • When an American journalist was slapped on the butt as she was reporting live during a run, it went viral for many reasons. Most saw it for the on-the-job physical assault that it was, but a few didn't think it was a big deal and that she should "lighten up." For broadcast journalists who've experienced that kind of violation, it's not something you easily forget -- and that's not even the worst example.

    BTS with CTV Vancouver host Penny Daflos sits down with her colleagues, Shannon Paterson, Mi-Jung Lee and Scott Roberts as they describe similar situations where they were accosted on and off the air. From shouts of FHRITP to punches flying outside a courthouse, they discuss the difficult situations they've been in, and why there seems to be a different expectation of what's acceptable behaviour toward journalists than other working professionals.
