#WPFD26 @NakiyimbaGloria reflects on the realities journalists face while at work. Some have lost their lives, targeted for exposing the truth others caught in conflict & violence. Stop targeting the messengers. Journalists report what is happening
Protecting the media is everyone’s responsibility, especially during conflict.
Targeting journalists is silencing truth & the voices communities rely on. Journalists are not the enemy; they are vital defenders of peace, justice, and informed societies.

@UN_CSW
Journalists rely on digital tools, but when devices & applications are not updated regularly, they become easy cyberattack targets.
Software updates are not just about new features but contain important security fixes that protect your devices & information.
#CybersecurityNews
Phishing emails & fake messages are a common way hackers target journalists & steal sensitive information.
@iawrt_ug encourages journalists to always verify suspicious links, emails, or requests before responding.
#CyberSecurity
#digitalsafety
Journalists handle sensitive information every day. Using unsecured communication channels can expose conversations and sources.
@iawrt_ug encourages journalists to strengthen their digital safety practices.
#DigitalSecurity
Strong passwords alone are not enough. Journalists should add an extra layer of protection to their accounts. Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) to protect your email, social media, and reporting tools.
