"Online harassment and abuse against women journalists has become a major hazard to the profession. One that threatens women journalists’ ability to do their jobs. It violates their right to freedom of expression as much as it hampers free and open access to information for all members of society.
...
This #SOFJO Resource Guide formulates an answer to that threat. It aims to assist States and non-State actors across the OSCE region in taking real actions to improve the safety of female journalists online. The practices presented are all examples of ways in which international standards and commitments can be realized. This #SOFJO Resource Guide provides the key actors with a brief selection of the most relevant and achievable steps. Taken together, these steps form an interrelated structure in which women journalists can continue their profession online in a safer manner." (Back cover)

nical and commercial considerations they need to take into account in formulating a strategy for its introduction. The guide is a development of the previous ‘Broadcast User Guide’ and includes information on latest system and regulatory aspects for the introduction of the various DRM system variants. It also includes links to reports and articles on an extensive range of highly successful real-life trials. Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) is the universal, openly standardised digital broadcasting system for all broadcasting frequencies up to 300 MHz, including the AM bands (LF, MF, HF) and VHF bands I, II (FM band) and III. DRM is greener, clearer, wider, bigger, better quality & audio content and cost efficient than analogue radio; it provides digital sound quality and the ease-of-use that comes from digital radio, combined with a wealth of enhanced features such as, Surround Sound, Journaline text information, Slideshow, EPG, and data services. DRM enables digital radio transmissions in the former AM bands (short, medium and long wave, i.e. broadcasting bands up to 30 MHz), providing large coverage areas and low power consumption, as well as in the VHF bands above 30 MHz up to around 300 MHz (including the FM band) for local and regional digital radio services. Irrespective of the transmission frequency, DRM uses the same audio coding, data services, multiplexing and signalling schemes; only the transmission mode parameters (i.e. modulation or baseband parameters) are optimised for the respective frequency band."

de ellos lo hace con total libertad y desde perspectivas y enfoques tan diferentes como complementarios. La variedad de perfiles, por un lado, y la riqueza de “miradas”, por otro, han permitido confeccionar un rico caleidoscopio que invita a pensar y a repensar el encuentro –para muchos–, la colisión –para algunos– y el desencuentro –para otros– de la tecnología en el escenario comunicativo. Por otro lado, en una segunda parte, la obra presenta un total de 60 herramientas clasificadas en cinco grandes apartados: Buscar, Analizar, Escribir, Visualizar y, finalmente, Colaborar y organizar. Este trabajo es el resultado de una minuciosa búsqueda y un detallado análisis a cargo de un grupo de estudiantes –de diferentes procedencias y perfiles– que durante meses han escudriñado la Red en busca de los recursos, las plataformas y los instrumentos que podrían integrar un hipótetico (y siempre inacabado) directorio para comunicadores digitales."
