The NewsGuild-CWA is sponsoring a digital security training with the Freedom of the Press Foundation at 2pm ET February, 26. The training will last about 90 minutes and cover steps journalists can take to protect their devices, their sources and their materials from hackers or other organizations trying to surveil the work of journalists and media workers.
This follows the January raid of the home of Hannah Natanson, a Washington Post journalist and Guild member. FBI agents seized several of Hannah’s devices and have refused to return them.
