In this week's podcast, we take a look at the challenges of covering violence against women and how journalists should approach interviews with survivors
Journalists can fall in a number of traps when writing about violence against women, which makes their coverage confirm stereotypes.
To help reporters make their approach more constructive, we spoke to two winners and a judge of the Ending Violence Against Women Media Awards to collate some best practices.
In this podcast, we hear from:
Polly Neate, chief executive of Women's Aid;
Salma Haidrani, freelance journalist and winner of the features category;
Samara Linton, writer, Black Ballad, and winner of the new journalist category;
