New research: How are U.S. J-schools approaching digital security education? Work from @mshelton and @jennhenrichsen highlights the competing priorities within J-schools, leading a minority of programs to provide digital security education of any kind. https://t.co/nreOUIcbNA — PolitiTweet.org

As journalists are increasingly attacked online for their work, we wondered, what are U.S. journalism schools doing to prepare students for this environment? Our research suggests a minority of programs provide education on digital security basics. https://t.co/nreOUIcbNA — PolitiTweet.org

To help future newsroom leaders conduct their work safely and sustainably, J-schools can and should instruct their students on digital security. New research from @mshelton and @jennhenrichsen suggests we have a long way to go. https://t.co/nreOUIcbNA — PolitiTweet.org

BREAKING: Drone whistleblower Daniel Hale sentenced to 45 months in prison. Not the maximum term he faced, but still a shamefully excessive punishment for following his conscience and bringing important information to the American public. — PolitiTweet.org

To help the next generation of journalists conduct their work safely and sustainably, we want to see more J-schools expand their security offerings. Based on our research and work on digital security trainings, we are building a *surprise* that we think will help. More soon! — PolitiTweet.org

Freedom of the Press @FreedomofPress

There are many other reasons besides. (Please read our research to learn more!) But one significant reason most J-schools do not provide digital security education: Against the backdrop of competing priorities, developing curricula takes significant effort and in-house knowledge. — PolitiTweet.org

Freedom of the Press @FreedomofPress

Many in department leadership are simply not aware that digital security is an urgent issue in contemporary newsrooms. While newsrooms are routinely targeted, J-schools are not usually the targets of digital security attacks, making this serious threat largely invisible. https://t.co/H3iBwHgTpp — PolitiTweet.org

Why do so few programs offer digital security of any kind? Instructors are in a tough spot. As they train students on a variety of skills such as digital media techniques and programming, instructors are already juggling many emergent and competing education priorities. — PolitiTweet.org

Freedom of the Press @FreedomofPress

@mshelton @JennHenrichsen Roughly one-in-four programs said they offered digital security education of some kind. Of those, short, one-time workshops are the most common approach. Workshops typically cover fundamentals such as risk assessment, password practices, and encrypted chat tools like Signal. https://t.co/rL24UTdDT1 — PolitiTweet.org

Freedom of the Press @FreedomofPress

@mshelton @JennHenrichsen We asked over 100 J-schools to find out how digital security education is addressed in their coursework. Our analysis is based on responses from 43% of these programs, reviews of course catalogs, and interviews with students and instructors. https://t.co/Y3fA1qOYkj — PolitiTweet.org

As journalists are increasingly attacked online for their work we wanted to learn, how are U.S. journalism schools instructing on digital security? We are thrilled to share new research conducted by our own @mshelton in collaboration with @jennhenrichsen. https://t.co/nreOUIcbNA — PolitiTweet.org
