COJ #98 - Tiffany Reese of ‘Something Was Wrong': Navigating the Challenges of Victim-Centered Storytelling

In this powerful and vulnerable conversation, chart-topping podcasters Tiffany Reese, Mandy Matney, and Liz Farrell open up about the personal and professional obstacles they've faced in creating impactful, victim-centered content. 

From dealing with online harassment and imposter syndrome, to the ethical dilemmas of amplifying survivors' stories, these trailblazing women pull back the curtain on the realities of working in independent media. 

They discuss the importance of building a supportive community, setting boundaries, and centering empathy - even when faced with toxic responses from those unwilling to confront uncomfortable truths.

This honest, thought-provoking conversation is a must-listen for anyone interested in the power of independent journalism, the impact of trauma-informed reporting, and the journeys of the women who refuse to compromise when it comes to ethical, victim-centered content creation.
