This report summarises the results of the three-month OnTheLine project in Austria, which aimed to collect, record and analyse insults and threats against journalists. The project sought to obtain a rough overview of the type, quantity, quality, occurrence and objective of online abuse against journalists. Two primary research methods were used over the three-month project period: social media monitoring and qualitative interviews of both experts in relevant fields as well as both prominent and less well-known journalists affected by online abuse.
