RALIANCE, in partnership with The Poynter Institute for Media Studies, recognizes the importance of sexual violence reporting
The RALLYs awards honor the highest level of journalistic achievement in covering sexual violence and were presented at the Raliance Media Summit onĀ Tuesday, May 9, 2017Ā at theĀ Kaiser Family Foundation in Washington, D.C.This one-day event brought together journalists to discuss changing the landscape on sexual violence reporting.
Sexual violence is a complex topic for journalists to cover and can be even more difficult for the general public to understand. At the nexus of trauma, violence, crime and public health, news coverage on sexual assault and rape often lacks the depth of context connecting specific events with broader social patterns. Raliance congratulates the following contest finalists in the four categories who have demonstrated effective reporting that conveys the scope of the problem of sexual violence while also identifying solutions and challenging the notion that these acts are inevitable.
