But it also depends on what kind of journalism they're doing, right? Not all report on criminal activity, or on investigating the government. It's kinda like threat-models, no need to be super secure if your work brings no risks to you, your organisation, or those you come in contact with.
- jdavis703 5y agoJournalists from celebrity gossip reporters to foreign affairs correspondents needs to take security seriously. Even gossip journalists receive information from sources that ranges from information that would get the source fired or blacklisted to put in jail (e.g. LA sheriffs leaking celebrity photos).
- certnlyuncertn 5y agoHow likely is it that people are exploiting zero days against reporters in any of those examples though. That's why threat models are different for different types of journalism.
- reader_mode 5y agoDoes it take a zero day when you install random freeware crapware from the store ?
- c7DJTLrn 5y agoAgreed. The parent comment makes a ridiculous extrapolation.
- newman8r 5y agoThat's a fair point, although bad actors will also wait around for years for your work to become more interesting/relevant, if they think there's a chance of it.
- wolverine876 5y agoAnything that will change a stock price is enormously valuable, for example.
- Hamuko 5y agoYou can get to the criminal activity or government investigation journalists through the more "trivial" journalists if they work in the same company.
