Securing Journalists in 2022
summary
Defines the threat landscape as harassment, phishing, targeted malware and 0day, and insists journalists need practical, layered defenses not abstract advice. Lists specific tooling: Tor, OnionShare, SecureDrop, eotk, Tails, Qubes, and basic hygiene as passwords + 2FA + full‑disk encryption + updates. Describes building a newsroom security program — a six‑person security team supporting ~2,000 reporters — and emphasizes travel laptops and workflows for whether those measures actually reduce seizures, hacks and harassment.
