Many journalists — particularly women journalists and journalists of color — experience overwhelming social media harassment when they attempt to engage with readers on Twitter. The team behind A Community-Driven Tool to Protect Journalists from Online Hate and Harassment will build a tool that gives journalists the power to filter out harassment using machine learning models based on journalist-provided examples of harassment. This could ultimately reduce the harms associated with persistent online violence and let journalists focus on what they do best — telling groundbreaking stories and disseminating them to a wide audience.
