Years ago a journalist informed me that my personal info was being posted on white nationalist forums due to my local activism. They were working on an investigative piece, otherwise I never would’ve known. As a family we were able to take safety steps. We are forever grateful.

The level of risk journalists take to ensure the truth is made available is heroic. It just shouldn’t have to be that way. Having a free press is essential for Democracy. So shining a light on corruption and keeping accountability- should not put ones life in danger.

It’s completely unacceptable. Thank you for your service. The truth must always be revealed. The free press is vital to our democracy.

Usually if im in a heated debate with a member of media I just call that person a douche and move along with my day
These people threatening death really need to be outed and charged with a crime. The anonymity aspect needs to go away -
Some of us are anonymous online BECAUSE we have experienced danger before, either in personal or online life.
-
I agree that threatening people should mean consequences, if that's what you meant by "anonymity needs to go away."
-
In that instance. Yes it is what I mean. You threaten violence and you should be outed and punishable by law

Conservative women deal with this all of the time.

All women deal with this. And many men. Doesn't make it right. And it doesn't mean threatening a female journalist with rape is nbd.

I keep saying today... If this were school, people would be suspended for this type of talk. Why are we holding our kids to a higher standard that we hold ourselves?

So have a lot of other people. You’re no different than anybody else who has received a death threat just because you’re a so-called journalist.

What do you do about threats? What are your options? I can't imagine. I didn't realize it was this common!
