Newsrooms posting stories on #motorwayincident need to be mindful of images used. From my training kit a few slides on editing, editorial art accompanying rape stories

Digital newsrooms always need one image to post a story on WordPress. Since you don’t want to use a victim-identifying image you use stock art, which goes wrong...

Unfortunately images work in this subtle way as well. So I get my art desk to create appropriate images when possible. Will be doing this today actually bc we got stuck yesterday in #motorwayincident reporting

Now to editing tips for rape stories. This is from http://www.chitaskforce.org/policy-recommendations/reporting-on-rape-and-sexual-violence/?mc_cid=9693692db8&mc_eid=fe339916df

I ask subeditors to FLIP language in rape cases. Focus shifts

A classic “victim blaming” reporting mistake in the NYT pointed out in this guide http://www.chitaskforce.org/policy-recommendations/reporting-on-rape-and-sexual-violence/?mc_cid=9693692db8&mc_eid=fe339916df

Male crime reporters use this term in Pakistan bc police use it. See this amazing reasoning why this term should be avoided in violence against women cases

Reporting usually focuses on detailed descriptions but rape case reporting demands a totally different approach. NO DETAILS of this sort needed

We don’t always use this in Pakistan but it’s an amazingly close deconstruction of language when you flip. Use this approach to question story edits

And the last image I share in training sessions on rape stories: the causes of rape
