We ran across an interesting story about a new app designed to keep journalists safe when they’re in the field.
The idea is to help those working in dangerous places, but the definition of “dangerous places” has changed since the double murder of two journalists in Virginia earlier this year.
The International Women’s Media Foundation played a role in developing the phone app that gives reporters a lifeline when they feel they’re in danger and a fire alarm of sorts when they believe their personal safety has moved beyond their control. The app is called Reporta.
