Real Depictions of Graphic or Violent Content
Podcasts are wonderful outlets for journalists and reporters to share what is going on in the world. Megaphone understands that there may be content that discusses difficult and disturbing subject matter in a respectful and critical way. Podcasts reporting on historical or current events, or that are documentary in nature may contain graphic content. Journalism and/or documentary podcasts have more flexibility to depict violence and the effects of violence. It’s important to think about the context in which you are presenting content that is graphic in nature. If your podcast is particularly graphic in nature, it’s important that you provide context within the podcast, episode description or show page to help listeners and Megaphone understand the content.
