Perugia, Italy—Women journalists face greater threats online in the course of their work, and the trend is increasing, one expert told an international conference in Italy this weekend.
That toxic environment was being “facilitated by Big Tech companies,” she said, accusing them of “a failure to take responsibility.” Filipino journalist Maria Ressa, the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize winner, was a victim of online abuse, as she explained in the ICFJ-UNESCO report. Much of the abuse followed her investigation into the takeover of social media network X, then known as Twitter.A fifth of women surveyed said they had suffered attacks or insults in real life that were linked to online abuse.
Since then, she has moved house twice and tends to stay away from social media, but says she still gets cyberbullying messages and “doesn’t work the same anymore.”
