Given the constraints that may prevent journalists from attending a full series of training sessions, it may also be advantageous to explore innovative self-directed learning methods. This can be in the form of creating pop culture materials that simulate emergency situations through mediums such as interactive comic books or mobile video games. Video games for social change have witnessed a rise in popularity in recent years, as can be seen in games in the vein of NeoCab (2019), a narrative game about ride-hailing drivers; CHANGE: A Homeless Survival Experience (2020), a survival simulation of homelessness; or the game Taksa by EngageMedia (forthcoming 2024), a narrative game about navigating through information muddle in an oligarchydominated media landscape. Integral to these efforts is the active participation of journalists in the design, drawing upon their firsthand experiences of such high-pressure encounters. It is necessary to give journalists space to decide for themselves what aspects of security are relevant. They should lead initiatives, with trainers serving as facilitators. Tools and devices Facebook is a double-edged sword. While the digital security environment tends to be critical toward Facebook, the platform remains an important outlet to quickly disperse news to a large audience. The citizen journalists depend on Facebook for their reporting, as do many news outlets. Specific to the Myanmar setting, journalists also rely on a Facebook presence to provide a semblance of normalcy to curious inspectors and onlookers. Practices need to become established community-wide. Changing the collective behaviour of groups or a community cannot be done through training alone, and must adjust to realities on the ground. Rapid-response emergency assistance groups are already available to address cases like loss of access to accounts or devices due to hacking or arrest. However, their reach is limited. One journalist (#1) noted that this is due to those support groups relying on email as a communication channel. While we have not conducted a thorough investigation on the most practical and secure platform for journalists, some 49
