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.
