Citizen Lab submitted the following proposal Safeguarding the Fourth Estate: Teaching digital security and privacy to journalists
Although the work of journalists is essential to the public interest, the widespread adoption of information and communication technologies (ICTs) has both enabled and endangered journalistic practices. While the ability to digitally communicate with sources and colleagues is easier than ever there are a growing number of ways to compromise these communications.This project will strengthen the capacity of journalists to conduct their work with greater appreciation for privacy and security of ICTs. It will create knowledge and resources for digital security training, increasing awareness of digital privacy and ways to secure it. Finally it will promote uptake of these resources to further the education of the next generation of journalists. https://www.newschallenge.org/challenge/2014/submissions/safeguarding-the-fourth-estate-teaching-digital-security-and-privacy-to-journalists Cheers Ron On 2014-03-19, at 10:21 AM, Nicholas Merrill wrote: > We ( The Calyx Institute ) submitted a proposal to build a network of > XMPP servers that by default force people to use TLS/SSL and OTR and to > allow people to connect via Tor hidden services.
