“Reporting on sexual violence requires special ethical sensitivity, interviewing skills, and knowledge about victims, perpetrators, law and psychology. Flawed reporting can inflict further harm to victims, both individually and collectively. It shames and discourages reporting.”
Dart Center for Journalism and Trauma
We created this resource to help journalists report on sexual violence accurately, responsibly, and with survivor-centered context. You’ll find statistics, language suggestions, and other resources to support thoughtful reporting. If you’re working on a story and need information, context, or a source, KASAP is here to help. We’re available for comment and happy to connect you with experts across Kentucky.
