"As detailed in this paper, the analysis revealed that most online security guides for journalists do not prioritize their content effectively, and provide no clear path for users to improve their security in a time-efficient way. The advice provided was also inconsistent across the guides. This paper concludes with recommendations to make guides and security education of journalists overall more effective: 1. Always start with risk .. 2. Integrate security practice with the journalist’s workflow [...] 3. Security as a competitive advantage [...] 4. Newsrooms and journalism schools should integrate security education into their programs." (Executive summary)
