RSF Journalists on the #METOO movement
Seven years after an international wave of public debate was triggered by the first journalistic investigation
into the Weinstein affair in the United States, Reporters Without Borders (RSF) has released a new report:
“Journalism in the #MeToo era.” This movement to empower women’s voices — which has acquired many different slogans
in numerous countries — spurred the creation of new media outlets, revisions to newsroom policies, and the development of new
journalist networks. Yet investigating women's rights remains dangerous. To accompany the report, RSF has published recommendations
to support journalists working on women's rights and gender violence.
