This year, in 2024, thousands of journalists from all over the world have and will be reporting on and investigating the impact of digital threats (disinformation, spyware, trolling and digital violence, among many others) in elections. Sharing ideas, strategies, and techniques for investigation is critical in a year where voters in more than 60 countries will go to the polls.
In this panel, leading journalists and experts — who have all been covering elections in 2024 — share perspectives on the impact of digital threats in elections in different continents. They will also share tips and tools about how to better expose the individuals and organizations behind disinformation campaigns.
GIJN also published a Reporter’s Guide to Investigating Digital Threats, featuring expert advice from journalists and security analysts working to combat disinformation, malware, spyware, and trolling.
