JSafe App

The app allows journalists to document an incident by uploading information about their attackers, such as email addresses or social media handles, and store any photo or videos — including screenshots — related to the occurrence. The journalists also can select a threat level of an incident and request a follow up from the Coalition of Women in Journalism. In addition to managing the app, the coalition provides resources for journalists to connect with, such as a lawyer or a therapist.
