This free webinar, presented by New England Newspaper & Press Association University is geared towards editors and reporters.
Join Adam Clayton Powell III, Executive Director, USC Election Security and Information Project, and John Voket, Associate Editor, The Newtown Bee, for a conversation about the content of the USC Election Cybersecurity Initiative.
The initiative is a new non-partisan independent project, supported by Google, to help protect campaigns and elections. They are conducting cybersecurity workshops in all 50 states.
These sessions are essential for journalists and anyone involved in elections and campaigns: staffers, candidates, state parties, state, and local election workers. They are designed to educate people in campaigns and elections about best practices to protect and defend against cyber attacks.
The content includes three areas of election security:
– Cyber Safety & Security
– Disinformation and Misinformation
– Crisis Communication
