Online harassment has become one of the most significant safety issues facing journalists and media professionals today. This needs to stop! Together, we can remind the world that these attacks are #NotOk
Online threats and harassment have offline consequences. Earlier this year, a UNESCO/ICFJ report found online abuse was often linked to orchestrated disinformation campaigns that seek to silence journalists and discredit their reporting, directly undermining press freedom. Canadian news and media organizations are joining together to take a stand against online harm and take action in supporting each other.

Looking Back
#NotOk was initiated by CBC/Radio‑Canada, with members from across all components of the Corporation. We are united in supporting our journalists, newsrooms and media professionals against those who seek to silence their stories and threaten their safety. We believe it must be an industry-wide effort to tackle this threat and together, we will continue to advocate for collective responses to end this behaviour.
