Warmly, Nabiha > > Dear all, > > The Information Society Project and the Knight Law and Media Program will be > hosting a conference on Thursday, November 29, at Yale Law School, entitled > "Protecting Journalism: Anonymous and Secure Communications for Reporters and > Sources." > > Reporters often find it necessary to protect the identities of their sources. > In the past, that secrecy was easier to achieve. > > Now, although digital technologies provide fast, convenient communications > between reporters and sources, they also facilitate greater surveillance of > those communications. If source confidentiality remains crucial to > journalism, then reporters have a duty to take better precautions. But what > measures are available, which ones are being used, and which ones are > actually effective? Do anonymizing tools fulfill the promise of secure > communications, or do they endanger users by creating false confidence? > > This conference will bring together journalists and technologists to discuss > the security needs of journalism; current practices among reporters; the > merits and pitfalls of the available technology; and what more can—or > should—be done to protect communications of this nature. > > The complete agenda and list of panelists is available at > http://www.law.yale.edu/intellectuallife/protectingjournalism.htm. > > Register at http://www.eventbrite.com/event/3903637886?ref=ebtnebregn. > > For more information, please contact Heather Branch at > [email protected]. > > Best, > > Bryan Choi > Director of Law & Media > Information Society Project > Yale Law School > > Nabiha Syed > Visiting Fellow > Information Society Project > Yale Law School > > _______________________________________________ > ISP-Fellows mailing list > [email protected] > http://mailman.yale.edu/mailman/listinfo/isp-fellows -- Unsubscribe, change to digest, or change password at: https://mailman.stanford.edu/mailman/listinfo/liberationtech
