  1. ## The Myth of Objectivity
    **Subtitle:** When neutrality becomes complicity

    In trauma reporting, “objectivity” is often a mask for distance.
    Equal airtime for harm and denial isn’t balance — it’s erasure.
    Neutrality comforts power; empathy clarifies truth.

    I don’t want reporters to be neutral. I want them to be *accurate*.
    That means admitting where they stand, why they care, and who gets harmed when they pretend not to.
    Transparency isn’t bias — it’s integrity.
