Domestic violence affects more than 10 million Americans each year. And in California, more than half of families have been touched by domestic violence. Yet it is often treated as a criminal or private matter rather than a public health epidemic. Journalism can play a role in bringing about change and greater awareness. The USC Annenberg Center for Health Journalism’s annual domestic violence symposium and impact fund provide reporters with a roadmap for covering this public health epidemic with nuance and sensitivity.

All Annenberg students are eligible to attend this virtual symposium.

The Center for Health Journalism is also offering a domestic violence student impact reporting fund — a new student scholarship and mentoring opportunity. Students are eligible to apply if they are a junior, senior or graduate student in journalism. By participating in this program, you’ll have an opportunity to gain valuable insights, while receiving mentoring, project editing, and a grant to support your work. Click here to apply.
