As we have been working on our own resources for journalists and journalism students, we have referenced and consulted with a number of existing media guides for reporting on gender-based violence. These guides have provided us with a wealth of information and have significantly contributed to the development of Equal Press’ materials. They are excellent resources to reference for a more national and global perspective!
