- The news station should recognize hazardous attitudes and situations and develop standard operating procedures that emphasize safety
- The news station does not need to make any changes: there are times that an accident is unavoidable
The news station should recognize hazardous attitudes and situations and develop standard operating procedures that emphasize safety
