Case by Case: News Coverage of Child Sexual Abuse

Case by Case: News Coverage of Child Sexual Abuse
By Berkeley Media Studies Group
No one likes to talk about child sexual abuse. Yet tens of thousands of children are sexually assaulted every year in the United States. A matter this serious and pervasive deserves attention. News coverage in particular is important because it puts issues in front of the public and in front of policy makers. News coverage of child sexual abuse is doubly important because the abuse is often hidden from view. For many people—including many policy makers—news coverage will be the only way they learn about the issue.
