Laura Otieno, who is currently a reporter at Citizen TV, equally faced online harassment from a source who had insisted on having his story published yet it did not meet the editorial threshold. Laura decided to take a break from social media and when she decided to rejoin, she was still being trolled. “I decided this is not worth it, I deleted that account in early 2020, and to date even when I sit in forums and we are told how important it is for journalists to embrace multimedia and use social media platforms, I do not have the courage yet to go back on Facebook,” she told Parents magazine, noting that she only uses Instagram and Twitter just to follow other people.
