Online harassment of journalists has reached unprecedented levels, with particular vitriol directed at women and minorities. In this panel we present leading journalists from India and the Philippines who have been through horrific attacks online but have fought back. They will be joined by security experts from Buzzfeed and the Dart Center for Journalism & Trauma, and by a senior official from Twitter.
