Traders Magazine: “The International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) has published its Final Report on the Tokenization of Financial Assets. The financial sector has been actively exploring distributed ledger technology (DLT) to deliver services and tokenize financial assets. While tokenization may enhance efficiency and transparency, it also introduces new risks — or amplifies existing ones — that regulators must understand and address to protect investors.”
New Comprehensive Guide to Help Newsrooms Protect Journalists from Online Abuse
PEN America: “In response to the alarming rise of abuse and threats targeting journalists, PEN America and the Coalition Against Online Violence have released a groundbreaking guide, Best Practices for News Organizations: How to Protect and Support Journalists Harassed Online, to empower industry leaders to protect their people amidst an escalating crackdown on the free press in the U.S. and internationally. Developed in close consultation with over a dozen newsrooms and civil society organizations, the guide addresses the rapidly evolving intimidation tactics journalists face—including doxing, impersonation, threats, cyber mobs, and coordinated harassment campaigns—and provides newsroom leaders, managers, and editors with actionable strategies for safeguarding staff and freelancers.
“Journalists must be online to do their jobs. But that visibility, alongside their role holding power to account, can make journalists lightning rods for harassment and threats,” said Viktorya Vilk, Director of Digital Safety and Free Expression at PEN America and co-lead on the project. “Unchecked abuse doesn’t just silence individual journalists, it is deliberately deployed to drive talent out of the profession and undermine a free and independent press.”
M“Online abuse does not affect every journalist equally or in the same ways. Journalists from historically marginalized identities are disproportionately targeted not only for their work, but for who they are, leading some to leave the industry altogether,” said Jeje Mohamed, holistic safety and security consultant and co-lead on the project.
“Even newsrooms that are committed to journalist safety don’t always know where to start. This guide provides step-by-step support.” The Best Practices guide offers a menu of flexible recommendations tailored to newsrooms of all sizes, covering critical areas such as:
- Raising awareness and shifting newsroom culture on journalists’ safety
- Developing policies and protocols to address online abuse and other safety challenges
- Providing digital safety training and building capacity for managers, staff, and freelancers
- Bolstering organizational and individual digital security
- Fostering a supportive environment for targeted journalists
- Issuing statements of support for targeted journalists and news organizations
- Documenting harassment and delegating monitoring and review..”
