Why talking to the media?

Getting the word out, voicing an injustice, breaking the stigma, enticing other victims to report... There are about as many reasons to go public as there are victims.

The Canadian Resource Centre for Victims of Crime created a free online resource called: If the Media Calls: A Guide for Crime Victims & Survivors.
This Guide is intended to

• Help crime victims and survivors work effectively and comfortably with the media (or to decline to do so).
• Learn about your rights to privacy
  
• Help survivors to be well-prepared for interacting with many forms of media
• Learn the possible benefits and risks of speaking out in the media.
