Abstract
In this reflective essay, we seek to advance our understanding about the risk and safety of the researcher within the changing landscape of academia and media as one. We maintain that over the years, risk and safety protocols have prioritized discussions about the participant, the subject in the study, or the studied community, overlooking some important aspects related to the risk and safety of the researcher. Thus, this reflection directly corresponds with the journal’s main aim: advancing knowledge about the impact of digital technologies on society, and specifically in researching society.
