Media Resources

A source for journalists who want to move beyond extractive, sensational, or victim-blaming coverage and instead practice reporting that actively disrupts rape culture. These tools offers concrete, survivor-centered guidelines on language, sourcing, consent, and framing so your work names sexual violence accurately, protects dignity, and situates individual cases within the broader social and structural conditions that enable harm.

Authentic Consent Press

Find mentions of Authentic Consent in the media. From the NYT to social media to podcasts, you can hear from students, practitioners, and instructors who have had their lives changed from these simple teachings around embodied consent. Use these examples to audit your newsroom’s habits, strengthen accountability in your stories, and contribute to a media ecosystem that supports prevention and justice rather than perpetuating myths and stereotypes
