In 2015 and beyond, there is a world of new challenges for the journalist — from legal threats, online harassment and intimidation, to surveillance and physical attacks.
Index staff, guest speakers and participants will discuss risks and challenges, highlight effective measures that exist to combat these, and share experience and best practice.
An introduction to digital security and training material including Security-In-A-Box will also be provided.
This workshop is for young journalists and students in journalism. Participation is free of charge but limited to 20 participants.
