Catrin Nye: On investigating cults, and being harassed by them.
Following an investigation into a lifecoaching organisation called Lighthouse for a BBC podcast, the investigative reporter was shocked to find Lighthouse members turning up on her doorstep seeking to intimidate her. Following a court case which concluded earlier this year, three members of the group were convicted of harassment (they are appealing this decision).
Nye comes to the CIJ to talk about what harassment looks like, how it came about, and how to deal with it.
