Specifically, we focused on learning what mental health and online resources journalists and creators of digital media find most helpful—and what more can be done to help them manage the effects of online abuse.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">For this project we interviewed 15 journalists, content creators and artists about their experiences of harassment and what steps they took to cope. We also asked them about which resources and recommendations they have for other professionals in the field, including employers and other stakeholders.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Our interviewees included freelance and full-time employees who cover a wide range of content.  Yet the majority identify as women journalists and/or journalists of color, which helped us better understand the experiences and support needed by people disproportionately targeted online.  </p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">To ensure the safety of our interviewees, we are keeping their identities private.

But they also need employers to validate job-related distress and offer concrete support options, such as access to therapy and mental health days.</span></p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Interviewees writing about highly-charged topics that impact their communities said these options are really important. <span class="sqsrte-text-color--accent">“News editors could be more sensitive to marginalized folks who are doing work at the intersection of identity,”</span> shared the journalist who writes about race, class and culture. <span class="sqsrte-text-color--accent">“If you are writing around sensitive topical issues that also intersect with your identity or lived experience, that is a lot. You are fundamentally carrying a different pail of water around this stuff,”</span> he added.  </p><p class="" data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"></p><p class="sqsrte-large" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><span class="sqsrte-text-color--darkAccent">Therapy can help, but it’s more complex than that.</span> </p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><span class="sqsrte-text-color--accent">“I do believe employers should offer therapy to impacted journalists, particularly those from marginalized backgrounds where resources aren't as plentiful or normalized. To seek out and get therapy, which can be expensive, is a privilege. We can't assume that all people, particularly underpaid and overworked journalists, are able to afford therapy,”</span> said the full-time journalist who covers race, housing, immigration, policing and cannabis. </p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><span class="sqsrte-text-color--accent">“I definitely had to deliberate how much the race of my therapist mattered and didn’t matter,” </span>added another journalist.<span class="sqsrte-text-color--accent"> “A lot of that had to do auditing with what I needed therapy for (my needs and race as a Black person overlapping). The other challenge was cost. And another was logistics. When was that person available to have sessions?” </span></p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Newsrooms can also step up by getting trained on how to handle harassment, issuing public statements of support for employees harassed online, and creating a positive work environment. <span class="sqsrte-text-color--accent">“So much of our workplace culture in a newsroom setting is just power through and get things done. I think there needs to be a de-emphasis on the importance of the work to sacrifice your mental or physical health,”</span> said one editor and journalist.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">At the very least, journalists need to know employers won’t make them feel “less than” if they ask for help—or worse. “<span class="sqsrte-text-color--accent">Ensure management doesn’t take action against someone who has been harassed (i.e. dismissing them). On and on we see news organizations that, when there is a targeted harassment campaign, feel they should cave to community pressures by following through on what the campaign desires,”</span> added an editor.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Employer support is critical when it comes to dealing with harassment—but where does that leave freelance journalists and content creators who need support? <span class="sqsrte-text-color--accent">“Addressing independent journalists is super difficult because you struggle already to sell your articles, you struggle to get paid and that’s your main priority…These resources have to come from independent associations,”</span> shared one former editor.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Yet some journalists may lack access to these associations and their resources.  One interviewee said she would have <span class="sqsrte-text-color--accent">“turned to the National Union of Journalists (NUJ)”</span> if she had needed help dealing with online harassment, but that she was no longer a member because of the cost. Another interviewee mentioned that they were not aware of an identity-related journalist association that might address online harassment, but that such a resource would be helpful. </p><p class="" data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"></p><p class="sqsrte-large" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><span class="sqsrte-text-color--darkAccent">Fortunately, many nonprofit organizations supporting journalists have taken notice. </span></p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">The Asian American Journalist Association (AAJA), for instance, now offers a comprehensive listing of <a href="https://www.aaja.org/2021/02/25/mental-wellness-resources/"><span style="text-decoration:underline"><span class="sqsrte-text-color--darkAccent">mental wellness resources</span></span></a> on its website as well as a speaker series dedicated to mental health-related topics. The AAJA also offers mental health support funds via an <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd-2POJ42L3jxs-9BG2zDn9KhwF_XKdP13nOQjmXzBp0vTHpA/viewform"><span class="sqsrte-text-color--darkAccent">application process</span></a> for journalists in need. </p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">So does the <a href="https://www.iwmf.org/bjtrf/"><span style="text-decoration:underline"><span class="sqsrte-text-color--darkAccent">Black Journalist Therapy Relief Fund</span></span></a><span class="sqsrte-text-color--darkAccent">,</span> founded by Sonia Weiser in May 2020 on GoFundMe to help “provide financial assistance for Black journalists facing financial hardship who are unable to pay for the mental health support they need during this time.” The International Women’s Media Foundation (IWMF) now administers the fund.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Recently, the IWMF also partnered with PEN America and the Online News Association (ONA) to create <a href="https://pen.org/event-series/digital-safety-snacks/"><span style="text-decoration:underline"><span class="sqsrte-text-color--darkAccent">Digital Safety Snacks</span></span></a>, a series of videos meant to help journalists defend themselves against online abuse.
