Corrupt actors and extremist groups don’t just attack the story—they target the reporter. Grounded in a decade of tracking attacks on journalists, this workshop teaches investigative reporters how to identify their own digital vulnerabilities, assess incoming threats, and adopt counter-tactics.

You’ll walk away with practical strategies to keep publishing safely—and crucial protocols to blunt the emotional, psychological, and professional toll targeted harassment takes on your life and reporting.
