International Justice Mission’s Post

Online attacks on women journalists are on the rise. Weaponised words can undermine their credibility, add mental health issues, and even push them to quit the profession. We look into how newsrooms can help their women journalists against the tide of online hate.

We within the justice system are getting more exposure with our press releases and digital media than ever before from emerging national online news sources.nThis means new powers and enhanced responsibilities. We need to understand what’s happening and why. By digital media or proactive efforts, I mean press releases, podcasts, audio, video, radio, and television shows that you create and offer via the Internet. https://lnkd.in/eep6HARx #crimenews #crime #crimestatistics #media #newsmedia #reporters #journalism #socialmedia #proactivemedia #pressrelease #digitalmedia #police #lawenforcement #criminaljustice

Online bullying and abuse can take a toll on people’s mental and physical health. Peer support groups undoubtedly can help journalists who are being targeted online so it’s heartening to learn that a new report by PEN America and Columbia University calls on the news industry to invest in such interventions for employees. “Susan E. McGregor, research scholar at Columbia’s Data Science Institute and co-author of the report, explains: ‘Journalists repeatedly tell us that they prefer to seek support from other journalists when faced with occupational stressors. By creating an environment where journalists can share experiences and provide mutual assistance, facilitated peer support groups offer a practical and accessible means of coping with online harassment.’” Learn more at the link. #PeerSupport #MentalHealth

Internal #nyt / #nytimes / #nytimesbestseller documents exposed and reported by #TheIntercept, show these documents strongly encouraged their #reporters to not use the words #EthnicCleansing, #Genocide, #OccupiedTerritory, and even #Palestine in their coverage, exposing a #dishonest assault on #honest, #unbiased #Journalism, and trying to clearly #mislead the #public.
