IFJ Study - 'Global Surveillance of Journalists: A Technical Mapping of Tools, Tactics and Threats'
The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ), the world's largest organisation of journalists, has launched a landmark investigative study on 28 April exposing how journalists across the globe are subject to a systemic infrastructure of control through increasingly sophisticated digital surveillance technologies. The study provides urgent recommendations to strengthen journalists' security and protect the media.
The study was authored by Samar Al Halal, a computer and communication engineer and digital security and digital rights expert, revised by independent researcher and consultant in cybersecurity and privacy Lukasz Olejnik and commissioned by the IFJ as part of its contribution to the Brave Media project, a global consortium of nine organisations led by BBC Media Action.
