The International Women?s Media Foundation (IWMF) designed Reporta (Google Android, Apple iOS) to empower journalists working in potentially dangerous conditions to quickly implement their security protocols with the touch of a button.
Journalists around the world face increasingly hostile environments. Reporta is an essential tool for journalists to facilitate the implementation of security protocols with three key functions:
- An automated and flexible Check-in system designed for dangerous environments.
- Customized Alerts-including photos, audio or video-when a journalist’s safety or that of a colleague’s may be at risk.
- An SOS button to push a distress message to designated contacts before the app shuts down to prevent unwanted access.
