Guidelines on gender-ethical reporting 2. Disaster reporting Natural disasters are no longer confined to a short news brief with statistics of fatalities or economic loss. Today, the story creates international headlines in the media and is documented aggressively—landmarks in recent disaster reporting include the devastation left by the Indian Ocean tsunami (December 2004), Hurricane Katrina in the United States (August 2005) and the triple tragedy that occurred in East Japan from the massive earthquake, tsunami and nuclear accident (March 2011). These disasters and their aftermath have become vital news coverage that goes beyond statistics. With the rise of devastating disasters, media coverage has increased, in stories that point to crucial political, economic and social indicators of a country and its society. Indeed, stories by journalists who disseminate diverse information on devastation, disaster risk reduction and mitigation play a vital role in national recovery programs. The disaster story is about recovery and risk reduction, two crucial themes that can be tackled if the challenges are linked with national development goals. For the journalist this objective is more effectively attained when the stories are recounted through the voices of disaster survivors 1 , since they know firsthand the human suffering, the devastation and the consequent endurance and courage in recovery. Their stories not only convey the powerful reality on the ground but also the determination of the people to move on. Media documentation of their experiences is valuable for providing a context in which to understand the effects of disaster on people’s lives. A story written with these goals in mind conveys the tragedy to the rest of the world but also builds support and understanding. Sample story analysis Consider the following story. Title: Reporter: “Subtle aid for women facing abuse in disaster-hit areas.” Rob Gilhooly Where published: Japan Times- Japan`s leading daily. http://www.japantimes.co.jp/text/ fl20111001a1.html Date 1 January, 2011. SENDAI — At a glance, it appears to be nothing more than a hand massage. In a corner of a shelter for survivors of the March disasters in Onagawa, Miyagi Prefecture, members of the NPO Miyagi-Jonet are trying to provide some respite for stressed-out female survivors. 1. “Survivor” is used throughout this kit to convey the agency of those who are enduring or have overcome difficult situations. Rather than being merely passive “victims” as they are often portrayed, “survivor” draws attention to individuals, groups and particularly women undergoing difficulties or different forms of oppression who actively take steps to change their circumstances. 15
