The raid of a Washington Post reporter’s home and the seizure of the reporter’s devices and newsgathering materials is an alarming escalation against the press and emphasizes the need for journalists in the U.S. to take steps to proactively protect their sensitive information.
We invite you to join us for a roundtable discussion on best practices for protecting data and devices for journalists in the U.S. Panelists from Freedom of the Press Foundation and Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press will provide essential tips on safeguarding your data, protecting sources, and your legal rights during searches and seizures.
Panelists:
- Dr. Martin Shelton, Deputy Director of Digital Security, Freedom of the Press Foundation
- Harlo Holmes, Chief Information Security Officer and Director of Digital Security, Freedom of the Press Foundation
- Jen Nelson, Director of Pre-Publication Review and Journalist Support, Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press
- Abigail LP, Program Manager, Digital Security, Freedom of the Press Foundation (Moderator)
We encourage you to provide questions ahead of time using the prompt below for panelists to answer during the webinar.
This roundtable is being organized by the U.S. Journalist Assistance Network, a coalition of U.S. press freedom organizations specializing in journalist safety and assistance.
