This new bilingual publication (March 2012) provides victims with information about the focus of media; the impact of media on victims; the risks/benefits of speaking to the media; modern technology; tips for interacting with the media and high-profile cases. This may be used as a handout by police, victim services staff, NGOs and others who interact directly with crime victims and survivors. The publication is available in hard copy and online – please contact the office if you would like booklets mailed to you to share directly with your clients. We gratefully acknowledge funding from the Department of Justice Victims Fund. Access this new resource in English or in French and provide us with your feedback.
