Institute of Advance Legal Studies report on Protecting Sources and Whistleblowers in a Digital Age (UK, 2017)

This report from the Institute of Advance Legal Studies summarises a research initiative which demonstrates the profound concerns of investigative journalists, media organisations, NGOs and lawyers for growing technological and legal vulnerabilities and weakening protections for confidential sources including whistleblowers.

It sets out 10 recommendations for policy action including a strong case to strengthen whistleblowing protection in light of the importance of public interest journalism.
