POST BREAK 4 - How Post Will Return: Facilities and Beyond
The 4th in our PNYA POST BREAK series - this week we present a panel about returning to work- what's emerging in discussions about safety best practices; what will editorial, finishing, and delivery look like as we implement those protocols?
We’ll consider worker safety, facility logistics, and overall post workflow considerations as we look at "getting back to (or continuing to) work".
The panel will provide a sense of the state of current discussions, what entities are in dialogue, and the ways that our work in post may be transformed by COVID safety and prevention measures.
