Safety Workshop Series (2/4): Secure Communications with Freedom of the Press Foundation (RSVP)

Join in on this four-part, one-day workshop series presented by some of the most preeminent organizations working on issues of journalist safety today. Those who participate in all four workshop modules will get a comprehensive experience beginning in the morning with practical skillbuilding and finishing in the afternoon with community connection and in-room peer support.

In this session:

Why are some communication platforms safer than others? What should journalists consider when communicating about sensitive topics? What is encryption, anyway? This one hour session with digital security trainers from Freedom of the Press Foundation will answer these questions and more. Starting with an overview of basic secure communication concepts and tooling and digging into secure communications planning for real-world scenarios, this session will demystify concerns and leave plenty of time for questions. Whether you are a total beginner or are already learning about digital security, we welcome you to join us.
