Multiple journalists at Spectrum News’ station in Los Angeles have raised safety concerns to management long before the fatal Orlando shooting — and have not seen any real action to increase security, an individual with knowledge of the situation told TheWrap. But they did get a guest speaker from CNN…
“Journalists who experienced incidents in the field started to raise concerns that it was becoming more and more dangerous to shoot in the field with no security,” said the individual.
However, Spectrum News management said there was no budget to pay for security to accompany journalists on dangerous assignments.
