This toolkit will also equip journalists with knowledge on the software, actors and their roles and responsibilities in protecting themselves. It will also provide a basic digital hygiene tool kit aimed at protecting social media platforms and their digital devices. It is our hope that journalists will find this toolkit useful and will use it to protect themselves and their sources of confidential information. Although primarily developed for journalists, the toolkit can also be adopted by activists and other citizens who seek to protect themselves and their online communications. Since technology is a fast-paced terrain, this is the first step towards a marathon of continuously reviewing the gaps and proactively attending to the future needs which will be part of a mix of interventions including training, networking, and knowledge exchange platforms.
