Journalists serve an essential role by keeping us informed and connected with the communities we care about. In the course of doing their jobs, members of the press can face threats both in the physical world and online.

As journalists and news media professionals, we know you’re at a higher risk of online harm because of your occupation and we want to make sure you feel equipped to manage your security both on and off the platform. We offer resources to address digital safety across our technologies. We also want to introduce you to organizations we recommend you connect with to address other concerns you may face including physical safety, mental health support and legal assistance.
