DIGITAL SECURITY - PROTECTING THE COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN JOURNALISTS AND SOURCES IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT PRESS FREEDOM ISSUES OF THE 21ST CENTURY. A RECORD NUMBER OF WHISTLEBLOWERS HAVE RECENTLY BEEN PROSECUTED IN LARGE PART BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT THINKS IT CAN OBTAIN THE EMAIL AND PHONE CALL RECORDS OF ANY INTERACTION, AND AN INCREASING NUMBER OF JOURNALISTS ARE VULNERABLE TO HACKING FROM CRIMINALS AND FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS. TO END THAT, FREEDOM OF THE PRESS FOUNDATION EVALUATES AND PROVIDES GUIDES FOR A VARIETY OF DIGITAL SECURITY TOOLS FOR JOURNALISTS THAT AIM AT PROTECTING THESE DIGITAL COMMUNICATIONS. WE ALSO TRAIN JOURNALISTS AND NEWS ORGANIZATIONS IN HOW TO USE OPEN-SOURCE DIGITAL SECURITY TOOLS, SO THEY CAN KEEP THEIR SOURCES--AND THEMSELVES--SAFER.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2023 – Dec 31, 2023Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$631.1K
