Abstract Rising numbers of online attacks against journalists have been documented globally. Female, minority reporters and journalists who cover issues interwoven with right-wing identity anchors have been primary targets. This trend reflects growing forms of mob censorship linked to the demonization of journalists and the press by populist leaders. Based on recent cases in the United States, I define mob censorship as bottom-up, citizen vigilantism aimed at disciplining journalism. Effective responses are hard to come by given the pervasiveness of digital hate speech and the limitations of traditional approaches to the problems it represents for democratic communication.

暴民审查：数字仇恨和民粹主义时期的美国记者在线骚扰

摘要全球记录了针对记者的在线攻击事件。主要目标是女性，少数族裔记者和报道与右翼身份锚相关的问题的记者。这种趋势反映出暴民审查的形式不断增长，这些形式与民粹主义领导人妖journalist新闻工作者和新闻界有关。基于美国的最新案例，我将暴徒审查制度定义为自下而上的公民警戒主义，旨在惩戒新闻业。鉴于数字仇恨言论的普遍性以及针对民主传播所代表的问题的传统方法的局限性，很难做出有效的回应。
