After the #MeToo movement swept across Taiwan in 2023, the way journalists report on sexual assault and trauma became an issue warranting critical reflection. Drawing on the Western concept of trauma-informed journalism and integrating understandings of trauma-informed practice from medicine, public health, and social work, this article examines, through the lens of journalistic practice, how reporters can balance the pursuit of truth with the need to avoid causing further harm to survivors. Based on years of reporting experience and interdisciplinary discussions with scholars, the article argues that journalists should respect interviewees’ rights to choice and control throughout the reporting process. It also emphasizes that journalists should receive appropriate training to convey both respect and accuracy in their reporting. By establishing an ethical boundary between journalists and interviewees, reporters can help prevent survivors from being retraumatized through the interview process, while also protecting themselves from experiencing vicarious trauma as a result of their work.
