Watson's open letter appears in the fashion magazine this month alongside Meryl Streep's letter to female journalists, urging them to be vigilant in a "fake news" era.
She used her letter to praise journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia, who was killed in a car bomb late last year while investigating corruption in Malta.
Streep wrote:
"We need to protect, defend and thank the current crop of journalists around the world, because they, their scruples and their principles are the frontline defence of free and informed people. “Journalists today, investigative journalists, and especially female journalists, are vulnerable and come under a special scrutiny online."“They must vouch for their stories," she continued, "put their names on them, and as a result they attract the cowardly, the bullies, the brotherhood of bots and their easily aroused armies of haters.”
