Cultural Currents – Shifting Media Dynamics

The media plays a large role in fostering a culture of support and prevention efforts. However, the media must also evolve to better amplify the voices of survivors, experts, and advocates. Join us to hear from sector professionals about the role of media in enhancing prevention methods for all children and young people.

This session will examine the impact of media portrayals on public perception of children protection, highlighting both positive and negative influences. With NAPCAN’s newest media guides, this webinar will also highlight what ethical reporting practices look like, especially in upholding the dignity and privacy of victims and survivors.

In a tech-evolving world, join us as we aim to engage meaningful dialogue and drive positive and sustainable change in media practices.
