Trauma Journalism
Stigma refers to the negative attitudes, beliefs, or discrimination directed toward individuals or groups based on certain characteristics, such as mental health issues, trauma, or social status. It often leads to marginalization and can prevent affected individuals from seeking help or support, creating barriers to recovery and understanding. The interplay between the public's right to know and the potential harm of exposing stigmatized issues requires careful consideration, especially when reporting on sensitive subjects.
