Digital security awareness and device use among Hungarian journalists – research findings

Our online questionnaire and focus group research looked into the knowledge of Hungarian journalists and of newsrooms about digital security and digital safety. Our findings suggest that Hungarian journalists are little informed about digital security; some form of online harassment is the most frequent; 43 per cent of respondents do not use any tools for digital protection; and journalists are mainly not concerned about their own safety, but that of their sources, investigations and family; and most of them consider online harassment and attacks natural parts of their work.

Is journalism in a permanent crisis?

If one happened to be immersed in the professional and academic discourses on the nature of journalism, they would find that the debate on the assumed crisis of the profession is permanent. In the narratives discussing the potential causes of crisis there are, among other ones, economic, business, political and technological factors. This paper, focusing on the technology-centered narratives, attempts to reconstruct overarching rhetorical themes and framing patterns in crisis narratives, and tries to answer the question of whether it is possible that journalism is in a permanent crisis.
