General Counsel Gail Gove, NBCU News Group’s main attorney and top legal adviser, offers tips for journalists on how to cover a protest.
“Carry a press badge if you can and have it visible on your person. Carry the name and number of a lawyer, in the event that you’re arrested,” Gove said. “Stay out of the thick of the action so police won’t confuse you with a protester.”
