On the frontlines of global reporting, knowledge is safety. The Committee to Protect Journalists is launching a Journalist Security Guide to help journalists assess threats, curb hazards, and respond safely. Each year, hundreds of journalists are killed, attacked, or jailed, while many are threatened or have their communications intercepted. Armed conflict, information security, and stress reactions are some of the vital topics covered by the guide. In collaboration with Columbia University, we invite you to join leading journalists and security experts for a double discussion on physical and digital safety.
