Journalist Gharidah Farooqi was targeted by a supporter of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) during the political rally hosted by the party.

Taylor Lorenz, Washington Post’s tech columnist, is facing a malicious slander campaign towards the recent article she revealed.

Two more journalists were sent vile and racist emails this week, bringing the number of journalists, most of them women of color, targeted by an ongoing hate campaign to 20. Tanya Hayles, freelance journalist, founder of the online platform "Black Moms Connect'', and the latest victim of the vicious hate campaign, says she is amused by such attempts to silence her. Similarly, another journalist, Melissa Martin, who also received a hateful email by the “serial Canadian journalist insulter,” wondered at the pettiness of such trolls.
