Newsrooms are often the first line of defense against online harassment, smear campaigns, and abuse targeting journalists. To bolster newsrooms’ ability to protect their staff, the International Press Institute (IPI) and Faktograf have developed a hands-on training session for journalists, editors and newsroom managers. The training will present best practices for dealing with these attacks drawn from experts in more than 50 newsrooms across Europe. It aims to help news organisations establish an easy-to-follow protocol to mitigate the emotional, professional and reputational toll online abuse can take on journalists in the face of smear campaigns.

With Javier Luque Martinez | International Press Institute (IPI) and Ana Brakus | Faktograf – Association for the Informed Public
