Dr Rebecca Whittington is the online safety editor for Reach, the UK and Ireland's biggest commercial publisher.

Since 2021, she has helped journalists across the country who are receiving online abuse, helping them to develop measures for social media to try and prevent further harassment.

The Yorkshire-based journalist launched a new podcast 'Go Doxx Yourself' in July, which unpicks the human stories behind cyber nightmares.
