Reporting Bad News addresses a gap in the literature concerning
death reporting and stories of personal tragedy. Much has been
written about disasters and large-scale tragedies, but this
research concentrates on individual loss and the relationship
between journalist and vulnerable interviewee. While much
discussion in this area is negative, focusing on the ethics of
intrusion and journalists who act insensitively under pressure, the
authors' aim is to turn this focus around by looking at best
practice in encounters between reporters and the bereaved,
survivors and the vulnerable. It is hoped that by examining
contemporary death reporting, explaining its public service role,
proposing a new model of ethical participation and offering a
structure for sensitive interviewing, the most harmful aspects of
the process can be reduced for both the journalist and, more
importantly, the grieving and the victims. The work is based on
years of research by the authors, on interviews with journalists,
journalism educators, bereaved families and support groups and is
supplemented with a detailed analysis of the reporting of death
across academic disciplines and perspectives.
