"New Zealand consistently ranks well in global monitors of democracy, media
freedom and open government. But high rates of abuse and threats directed at
journalists put us at risk of “mob censorship” – citizen vigilantism that seeks
to discipline journalism.
Our recently published study documents newsworkers’ experiences of abuse and
violence at New Zealand’s largest news organisation,
Stuff.
The research reveals just how widespread online and physical abuse towards
journalists has become – and how this is changing the news and who is covering
it."
