We need to look to how, as journalists, we're describing other diseases and disorders and use that model when we're also talking about addiction.
Imagine a world where the media portrays addiction with empathy and understanding. In this thought-provoking episode of Recovery Radio, Jillian Bauer-Reese, a journalism professor at Temple University, sheds light on how journalists can reshape the narrative around addiction. Bauer-Reese guides her students to use person-first language, aiming to reduce stigma and foster a more compassionate view of those struggling with substance abuse.
The conversation dives into the media's responsibility in dispelling myths and misconceptions about addiction, emphasizing the power of words in shaping public perception. The episode also touches on the controversial topic of safe injection sites and their place in addiction treatment. For anyone interested in how media can influence societal attitudes towards addiction, this episode is a must-listen.
