Background Information for Journalists

Beyond the Headlines, a web resource developed by the Journalism Center for Children and Families,  provides information for journalists to move beyond reporting the basic facts on child sexual abuse cases. It helps reporters find context and new story lines that can help their audience understand the risks of child sexual abuse, while educating them about what can be done to protect children.
