News coverage, part II

News coverage, part II

November 19, 2012

The aforementioned news outlet has again contacted me to come on air, this time to address EDs in men. I spoke with the reporter at length, expressing my concerns about the previous story, and was told this reporter would not do the same thing. So, I agreed.

But, I just read the story in GQ that this reporter is basing her story on, and it is yet another ED story that talks about behaviors and weight, etc. (Why is it so rare that a news outlet can manage to pull off a story that does not glorify EDs??) And, as much as this reporter might agree to not do the same story, reality is I don’t have any ability to reject participation once the interview is done.

So, the question is this: Does the benefit of talking about EDs in men outweigh the risks of the impact of another potentially glorifying story?

Please, thoughts?
