Description
Safeguarding journalists is hugely important for the industry – as individuals continue to be targeted while doing their jobs.
Online abuse is a particular concern with an increase in trolling on social media platforms which has, in turn, had an impact on the mental health and wellbeing of reporters and editors.
This short training session will focus on the key issues that reporters and editors need to be aware of and will provide essential tips to stay safe.
In the week of World Mental Health Day, the session will also offer guidance on how journalists can be resilient in the face of online threats and how to avoid it affecting individual mental health and wellbeing.
