Reporta™ is a security app created by the International Women’s Media Foundation (IWMF) for journalists working in potentially dangerous environments. Designed in consultation with leading journalists and global security experts, Reporta is the only comprehensive global security app created specifically for the media community. The app empowers journalists to take control of their personal safety. Reporta has three key features:
1. Activate a Check-in system that creates a trail when you are working in potentially dangerous environments.
2. Create customized Alert messages when you or a colleague may be at risk.
3. Issue an SOS distress message with one simple touch of the phone.
