New research - 11-point plan for protecting journalism sources in the digital age
Une étude de l'UNESCO menée dans 121 pays propose un plan en 11 points pour protéger les sources des journalistes face à la surveillance à l'ère numérique.
Acts of journalism should be shielded from targeted surveillance, data retention and handover of material connected to confidential sources. That’s a key early finding of a study on the state of journalistic source protection in 121 countries undertaken for UNESCO by the World Editors Forum (within WAN-IFRA). Preliminary outcomes from the research were launched in Washington DC today during the World News Media Congress. The legal frameworks that protect the confidential sources of journalism - essential to reporting information in the public interest that may otherwise never come to light - are under significant strain around the world in the digital era. There’s now a need to revise and strengthen them - or introduce them where they don’t exist, according to the forthcoming UNESCO-commissioned study: Protecting Sources of Journalism in the Digital Age. http://www.ifex.org/international/2015/06/05/journalism_sources/http://www.ifex.org/international/2015/06/05/protecting_journalism_sources_wanifra.pdf https://wikileaks.org/w/images/c/c0/Silencingsources.pdf protecting journalism sources in the digital age An International Survey of Protections and Threats to Journalists’ Sources
