UK media plays important role
Recognising the important role that the media plays in communicating to the public what exactly it means to live with HIV today, NAT has produced a guide for journalists which will help journalists and editors report HIV issues responsibly. This practical guide gives people working in the media up-to-date information on HIV and sources of further information to help ensure that your reporting is accurate and non-stigmatising.
These guidelines are supported by the National Union of Journalists, the Press Complaints Commission and the Society of Editors. (more…)
