In view of the recent embarrassment faced by journalists which borders on cyberbully, the Maritime Reporters Association of Nigeria (MARAN) is organizing a one-day workshop on this social media menace.
This comes as part of the Association’s effort in promoting online safety for its members in the course of their duties as journalists in the Maritime Industry.
The workshop, in conjunction with the Port Police aims to educate participants on the prevention, identification, and response to cyberbullying, ensuring a safer online environment for everyone
Holding on Thursday October 10, 2024 at the International Maritime Centre, Apapa,
participants will at the end of the workshop be armed with a clear understanding of cyberbullying and its forms, recognise signs and symptoms of cyberbullying, and develop strategies for prevention and intervention in their reportage.
Cyberbullying is the use of technology to harass, intimidate, or threaten someone, typically through social media, messaging apps, emails, or other online platforms.
