As homelessness rises across America, the media is increasingly tasked with covering this multifaceted crisis. Journalists face unique ethical dilemmas and logistical challenges when reporting on homelessness, reflecting the issue's complexity. To address this, a coalition of reporters known as the Homelessness Beat Reporters Collective has developed a comprehensive guide. This guide provides key resources and strategies for journalists, covering everything from how to engage with sources experiencing homelessness to accessing relevant data. With feedback encouraged, the guide aims to evolve with input from diverse voices affected by homelessness.
The nature of homelessness and the increasingly politically charged conversation surrounding it make telling those stories complicated and nuanced.
The Homelessness Beat Reporters Collective - which includes journalists from San Diego to Washington, D.C. - put together a guide to homelessness reporting.
