Yeah that's a possibility but that massively depends on the level of surveillance the journalist is under but lets assume moderate.

Don't know how thorough raids are at looking for stuff but I can think of a couple places that may be sufficient if its poor to moderate job. Be screwed if they're combing the entire place though so the journalist would have to rely on encryption
