InfoSec for the Fourth Estate - Free eBook

Snowden revelations made quite clear the need to protect the source of information as well as the information itself.

For the first time journalists are now aware that virtually every electronic communication we make or receive is being recorded, stored and subject to analysis and action. As this surveillance is being conducted in secret, without scrutiny, transparency or any realistic form of accountability, the sources, the stories and journalism work itself is under threat.

Silkie Carlo and Arjen Kamphuis have compiled a book, distributed under creative commons license, that is titled "Information Security for Journalists".

The book is  written  in  the  plainest terms  possible,  with  comprehensive instructions,  sharing  a shortcut to  this learning  process  – without compromising  knowledge, teaching  or security.  The best  way  to  learn is by doing  –  so  we  strongly  advise  that you  use  this  handbook  whilst  also tooling  up  for  infosec, and  follow instructions  as  you  go  along.
