The Daily Record editor has joined more than 100 other media leaders in their calls for online threats and harassment of women working in journalism to be taken more seriously by police.
The editor of the Daily Record has put their name to a letter which today, International Women’s Day, was sent to police leaders and ministers responsible for the safety of journalists.
Research shows around three quarters of women in journalism in the UK have faced online harm such as threats, sexual violence, stalking and harassment. The impacts of online violence highlighted by the research, which was published by Women in Journalism and Reach last year, included significant mental health impacts and suicidal thoughts as well as women choosing to move away from public-facing work or leave journalism altogether.
It also requests that police report the crime figures back to the government in order to use the data to take further action, such as holding social media platforms to account. The investigation highlights that while some forces may note the occupation of a victim of online crime if it is connected to the crime they are reporting, there is no consistent approach, meaning the data cannot be reported back to forces or to the government. As a result there is no formal record of crimes conducted against journalists in connection to their work, despite evidence from industry that such crimes are regular and increasing.

Over 100 cats found dead in freezer at 'house of horror' in southern FranceMore than 100 cats have been found dead in a freezer at a 'house of horror' in southern France. Police were called to the town of La Roquette-sur-Siagne, near Cannes, after an animal protection group detected 'strong odours, and heard a lot of meowing' from the home. When officers finally opened the freezer, dozens of bodies were crammed inside. The 66-year-old man who lived in the property told them he 'loved his cats and wanted to give them eternal life'. 'He didn't think he had done anything wrong, except put the cats to sleep,' said an investigating source on Thursday. Agents working for AEPA, the French animal protection group, said 38 other cats, including 12 kittens and one pregnant adult, were also discovered alive around the man's house. Some were showing signs of typhus, while others carried varies wounds and were undernourished.
