Workshop: Protecting Your Sources

03 Nov9:00 - 10:15Safety & Security

This workshop represents nothing short of a dream team on security in journalism. The safety of journalists, their sources, and the data they communicate is yet another victim of trimmed-down budgets and staffing in newsrooms around the world. Meanwhile, digital hacking threats are booming, vulnerable freelancers are increasingly used for dangerous assignments, and public smears against investigative reporters and their whistleblowers as “spies” or “foreign agents” are common. Innovative solutions — from secure data governance to safety protocols for editors – will be offered by leading experts in media security.
