If a reporter doesn't have the resources, patience, the PERMISSION (i.e.: a source willing to go on record), the legal backing, the whatever they need to tell the story right, with empathy for the survivors, and with enough details to nail that sucker to a wall, then they aren't going to pursue it

It's about trust. Building trust, maintaining it. It's the only way we can do this job. If sources aren't ready to go on record, then that's that. You don't just dump that info into a rumor mill, lol. Any journalist worth their salt would sooner go to jail than break that confidentiality

Your point about trust, and confidentiality is spot on! It takes patience and courage to do this, knowing that if it's not done right it has the potential to end one's career. Journalists expose themselves to death threats and harassment.Thank you for doing this incredibly important job!

Anyway, if you're still struggling with this I urge you to take a moment and try and see how you would feel if it were you. I, for one, would want to make sure those reporters gave a shit and did their due diligence.

Extremely good work was done today, and those women are brave as fuck. That's it.
