The Need / Summary of the problem
Journalists and activists need training to reduce risk. How do we teach them security strategies and tools to keep them safer?
Note: It's the activities that are associated with reporting that create risk, not whether you call yourself a "journalist" or "reporter".
Risk Situations (Joshua)
People are at risk if they are reporting on:
1. Organized crime & illegal business practices
2. War/armed conflict
3. Repressive regimes/human rights issues
4. Natural disasters
5. Epidemics
6. Systemic corruption
7. Public protests
8.Political matters
Context
Mexico: Journalist are blackmailed and harassed when they report corruption and drug trafficking.
Guatemala and Honduras: Anybody who is doing reporting on high-risk activities is in danger.
Pakistan: journalists need to have technical tools to do their job safely
Context
DRC, Kenya and other countries in Africa: journalists lack information. Also access and distribution are big problems.
Russia and other states in Eurasia: Journalists and activists work at their peril reporting human right violations, corruption, etc. and risk persecution or even being killed.
Proposed Solution (Azeem)
To create a Massive Online Open Course (MOOC) about security strategies and tools to teach journalists and activists about risky activities, behaviors and contexts and how to be safer.
