What precisely needs to be done to ensure
that a journalist’s sources and data are secured and well? In Online Privacy
for Journalists, the former Haaretz Deputy Editor, Michael Dagan, will teach
you tips and tricks to project your sources and valuable information.
You would be hard-pressed to find a
journalist who would disagree that it is harder than ever to protect your data
and your sources. And it is only becoming more difficult as technology continues
to develop, with a perpetual “technological arms race” between those who want
to protect their information and those who want to steal it. It is not enough
now just to be a good journalist; one must be tech-savvy and stay up-to-date
with the latest communications technologies and know how to protect your
information, lest you send a message which is intercepted and ends up in the
wrong hands.
One of the worst parts is that merely
searching the web for privacy-enhancing software tools can very well cause the
NSA to track you. Even if a journalist is to use the Tor network (and many do),
this can be easily detected, only causing to be flagged as a suspicious
character. So while there is no golden bullet to protecting yourself as a
science, political, technology or other journalists, there are steps that you
can take to protect yourself from the prying eyes of the government or anyone
else who stands to gain from stealing your information.
