Digital Safety for Journalists: Open Online Workshop #digisafe


December 03, 2013 to December 06, 2013


Whether it's the NSA scandal, other ongoing digital surveillance or hacking attacks: It's clear that the digital realm has become increasingly unsafe - especially for journalists. In response, DW Akademie has put together the first online workshop "Digital Safety for Journalists". It runs from December 2 – 6, 2013 and is open to journalists and others interested in the subject. The workshop is offered in conjunction with Reporters Without Borders Germany and is free of charge.
Journalists can find answers to questions they are increasingly asking themselves: How careful do they have to be online? What dangers lurk behind Google, Facebook and What's App? What can their mobiles reveal about them? And above all, what can they do to minimize their risks and maximize their safety?
Six live online seminars (webinars) will be held with renowned journalists and digital safety experts.
Registration is simple: http://akademie.dw.de/digitalsafety...
Daily posts will accompany the workshop and look at a wide range of digital security topics: from taking the anonymous browsing tool TOR for a test run in Cambodia to dealing with password mayhem. Posts start November 25 and will continue for the duration of the workshop.
