The image the public have of the security sector has frequently been seen as its Achilles Heel. Yet surveys of workers, at different levels, have referred to it as an exciting place to work. Why then, is there both so little coverage of security issues in the mainstream media, and why is it that what is covered is often negative? Meanwhile, the emergency services seem to receive more press and overall more positive coverage? Or are these perceptions myths? Or is it perhaps better that private and corporate security work is kept out of the public eye?

This webinar will discuss:

- How can and should the security sector influence the media image of itself?
- Does the security sector more favourable coverage?
- Are security sector publications sufficiently supportive/critical?

Panellists:
Mark Rowe - Editor, Professional Security Magazine
Claire Meyer - Managing Editor at Security Management, ASIS International
Andrea Berkoff - Editor and Web Content Manager, City Security Magazine
