## 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.
