Elon Musk’s Twitter takeover concerns ([link removed]) many journalists, especially people of color, women and LGBTQ+ folks, that existing ([link removed]) harassment ([link removed]) on the platform and other corners of the internet will get worse.
Against that backdrop, Poynter’s recent announcement about partnering with George Washington University for a pilot program to address and reduce online harassment of journalists ([link removed]) feels timely.
We need your help to make it effective.
The program, Expert Voices Together, uses evidence-based research to develop best practices for reacting when journalists are threatened, abused or harassed online. The project’s intent is to create a system for response to online harassment that is grounded in experience and meets the needs of a wide range of journalists.
The ideal applicant will be a small to medium-sized newsroom with managers who have already identified their staff’s safety and well-being as a key priority, but are looking for practical ideas to handle both spontaneous and coordinated campaigns of online harassment. Each participating newsroom will get $5,000.
