Clandestine Reporters Working Group, also called CR Working Group or CRWG, is a private firm based in Alexandria, Virginia that specializes in training journalists in a number of security and privacy methods to ensure their safety globally. Founded by United States Marine Corps veterans, the CR Working Group trains field reporters to secure their media, in both digital and non-digital platforms, in hostile environments.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work =Mint Press News )〕 Clandestine Reporters Working Group also has facilities Falls Church, Virginia, Washington, D.C., Edinburgh, Scotland, as well as elsewhere.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Company: Clandestine Reporters Working Group, LLC )〕 ==Background== CRWG was founded by Daryl Baginski and Larry Jones, both ex-Marines, who had been trained in intelligence. After leaving the military, Jones became a private investigator while Baginski worked as an attorney. Concerned with the worsening climate for journalists both abroad and domestically, the two men founded the company "because they believe investigative journalism is a core American value".〔 The two founders are adamant that human rights and right to privacy for journalists and whistleblowers are fundamental for democracy and accurate reporting, stating "()hen journalists must compete with spies and surveillance, even if they win, society loses."〔 Bruce Schneier noted "Governments from all over the world are () against journalists, human rights activists, human rights defenders and political dissidents", detracting from the quality of journalistic reporting.〔 Among the motivations for founding the CRWG were revelations that the Obama administration had used the Espionage Act more than any other presidency combined to prosecute government whistleblowers "who shared information with the press", as well the UK government's granting "authority to secretly eavesdrop on legally privileged attorney-client communications" to its surveillance agencies.〔 In an exclusive for ''Mint Press News'' CRWG noted that since 2009 the technology to monitor keyboard strokes has been present, since the "voltage fluctuations in the ground lines give keystroke signatures." Keystrokes can also be recorded from radio frequencies emitted from keyboards. CRWG also has shown that "lasers pointed at certain laptop points or nearby objects can detect modulations caused by vibrations from striking keys." Mentioned was the fact that federal and state law enforcement have been known to use spy cameras roughly the size of a fish eye to record keystroke activity.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Clandestine Reporters Working Group」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
