Security for Newsrooms

Is your phone secure? Do you leave a trail online while following up on leads? In the age of ubiquitous surveillance, what can you do to protect your sources? If your newsroom isn’t regularly talking about digital security threats and strategies, the time to act is now. Join us for a 90 minute workshop, where we’ll give an introduction to common tools used by newsrooms to improve their security and protect themselves and their sources. By the end of the workshop, you’ll have worked in small groups to create the start of a plan to help your newsroom become more secure online.

This workshop builds on top of the Security Field Guide created by OpenNews and BuzzFeed Open Lab.
