Phil Chetwynd, AFP Global News Director, praised the AFPTV teams across the world for their ability to adapt to the Covid-19 pandemic. He notes that “we’ve been forced to be agile, creative and to constantly built on our shared experience”, and as a result of these experiences — especially those in Wuhan back in January — we have successfully built “safe protocols about how we work in a time of Covid-19”.  

He also highlighted the role that technological developments have played in Agency’s wrote, writing that the “use of mobile technology and live production has allowed us to work in a much safer and immersive way in dangerous situations”, such as protests in France, Chili, Hong Kong or Black Lives Matter in the United States.
