What are the cybersecurity challenges facing media professionals and how might we address the increasing problem of online abuse?

the increasing issue around cybersecurity and harassment of journalists
dealing with trauma
being subjected to graphic images (increasingly likely given the widespread abuse of social media),
how organisations can protect employees

The presentation is followed by a panel of digital tech, ICT, cybersecurity, media, and communications experts addressing the issues raised in the presentation.
