Source: Active Travel Academy, University of Westminister
Provides best practice reporting guidance for road collisions in the United Kingdom and includes best practice examples and their rationales. Ten points for publishers speak to core journalistic principles of accuracy, fairness, non-discrimination and justice. The ten points recommend that journalists avoid use of the term ‘accident’, use ‘driver’ instead of ‘car,’ and provide context to road collisions, rather than presenting them as isolated incidents, and more.
