> "The research … found that online abuse targeting the sexual orientation and gender identity of LGBTQ+ journalists is now commonplace."
>
> "More than eight in 10 (82 per cent) respondents shared that they had faced online trolling, while over half (56 per cent) were subjected to homophobic harassment."
>
> "Many also believe their role to be dangerous, with 76 per cent of those surveyed either disagreeing or strongly disagreeing that media organisations are adequately protecting them from harassment and abuse."
>
> "Almost three quarters (74 per cent) of the professionals surveyed reported feeling anxiety over the abuse they received."
