The vast majority of news media is horrible at covering online harassment. In my case, no one did more to instigate vicious offline abuse than MSNBC. Far too many in news media violate every best practice on covering these campaigns and exploit the targets of them for cheap views — PolitiTweet.org

@timspivey @Rothbardian19 @SeattleEdAssoc @rweingarten It’s not about “strength”. I deal with a level of harassment and abuse that’s frankly dangerous. People frequently posting doxx info or transphobic stuff in my replies to tweets. I can’t moderate thousands of replies on certain tweets. Also replies aren’t “comments” — PolitiTweet.org

There is no way to live a normal life when you’re the target of dedicated online stalkers/harassers. In this case someone searched through all her posts about the weather then compared it to a weather history database and used the location to hunt down her workplace — PolitiTweet.org

Young journalists are subject to non stop gamergate style smear campaigns and relentless abuse and receive zero preparation or assistance in dealing w/ it. Not only do they have to endure the attacks but they often also have to educate their own newsroom leaders abt how they work — PolitiTweet.org
