The Shadid Curriculum: Intervening in a Story (The Guardian)

Subtitle: The Impact of Publishing

2017 finalist for The Anthony Shadid Award for Journalism Ethics, Lauren Wolfe, discusses how she had to weigh whether publishing a story would do more harm than good when seeking to bring international attention to the plight of young girls being kidnapped and raped in a village in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. [Wolfe provided this commentary for the Center in spring of 2017].

About the Shadid Curriculum:
The Shadid Curriculum draws from the outstanding journalism of those who have won or been named a finalist of the Anthony Shadid Award for Journalism Ethics, an honor given annually by the Center for Journalism Ethics at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Launched in 2021, the curriculum encourages student journalists to consider thorny ethical issues and place themselves in the position of making difficult journalistic decisions.
