<p><strong>Elisa is a journalist</strong> working as a broadcaster for a major TV station. She is an experienced professional with a significant public profile. She does not consider herself social media savvy, but her job requires her to maintain several public profiles on the major platforms.</p>

<p><strong>In a contentious political environment, she challenges the elected president of her country</strong> with a series of difficult questions during a press briefing. The president has considerable public support and an extremely influential social media apparatus that he wields against the press regularly.</p>
<p>In the next section, <strong>let’s look at the consequences for the journalist</strong> after this tense interview.<strong><br /></strong></p>

<p>As you can see from the diagram, the President uses <strong>dog whistling</strong> as a tactic to initiate the attacks against Elisa. Online attackers then follow a series of strategies to harass and intimidate her both online and off. <strong>The next unit looks at how these abusers coordinated their efforts.</strong></p>

<p>As we saw in the first module, <strong>online abuse is often considerably more coordinated than it appears</strong>.</p>
<p>Although the President did not directly call out Elisa by name, his attacks against the press immediately following the press conference put a digital target on her back. Mercenary troll armies, paid by the government, created videos and many of the abusive posts and emails, were intensified by bot farms and supporters.</p>
<p>Some of the attackers are misogynist abusers acting alone or in coordinated groups.They may or may not care about the press, but what they enjoy is attacking women online.</p>
<p>Some abusers will never be identified. The following diagram shows how they are connected.</p>
