SUMMARY:Covering Elections Series: Part 3
DESCRIPTION:In a year in which four billion people are scheduled to vote in 25 elections\, the world already looks very different. \nThis three-part series on Covering Elections from the Journalism Protection Initiative at the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism will focus on press freedom and the safety challenges of reporting on the U.S. election. The series is co-sponsored by the Center for Community Media. \n“Covering Elections” is part of a range of public programming from the Newmark J-School which will examine the media’s role from every angle. \n\n\nCan We Stop Online Harassment? \nCo-sponsored by Freedom of the Press Foundation and the Kettering Foundation \nCampaigns of online harassment have become a key election tool\, used to intimidate and punish critical reporters. Female\, queer journalists and journalists of color are particularly vulnerable. News organizations initially responded to online harassment by encouraging social media platforms to remove harmful content and implement policies to protect users from abuse. Now\, more journalists and news organizations are providing journalists with tools to manage their online profiles\, suppress hate on their timelines\, and prepare themselves emotionally for the inevitable onslaught. This session\, featuring a panel of experts and journalists\, will look at how the strategies and tactics of self defense have evolved\, and what journalists can do in this shifting landscape to protect themselves online. \n\nPanelists \nHarlo Holmes: Holmes\, chief information security officer at the Freedom of the Press Foundation\, is an expert on both personal defense against online harassment and tech policy. \nSara Rafsky: Rafsky is an information security analyst at The New York Times. She has been leading the organization’s work on providing digital security guidance and support for the newsroom’s 2024 election coverage. \nViktorya Vilk: Vilk is the director for digital safety and free expression at PEN America. She has worked with newsrooms across the country. \nMacollvie Neel\, Special Projects Editor\, The Haitian Times.
