Support Respect in Reporting Today

I pledge to support news that respects the communities it reports on and provides reporting that is compassionate, ethical and solution-oriented. I hope you will join me by following the guidelines that Press Pass TV has created, in partnership with survivors of homicide. The Respect in Reporting Campaign is empowering communities across the nation to hold media accountable for the real-life affects of harmful reporting. Press Pass TV has seen firsthand the ways in which media can trivialize loss and even incite further violence. But together we can shape a media landscape that inspires, educates and activates communities to end violence instead of being terrorized by it.

The good news is though, that we can do something about it, together! Please sign on today and show that you and your outlet respect the community you serve.
