Some media coverage of the abortion issue has been dominated by the anti-choice perspective and excludes women’s experiences. The media wants to be seen as objective and accurate and can be sensitive to feedback and criticism.
You can make a difference through constructive criticism or congratulating a balanced article and by articulating the arguments for defending and extending abortion rights.
Contact details for radio, television and the national printed press are listed below. If you phone to make a comment about a programme ask to be connected to someone responsible for feedback from the public. If you send a letter by email or post speed of response is often important. Letters editors usually need letters by 3 or 4pm to be printed the following day. Try to keep your points concise and clear.
