Trauma Journalism
Vulnerable populations refer to groups of people who are at a higher risk of experiencing harm due to their social, economic, or health circumstances. This includes individuals such as the homeless, low-income families, racial and ethnic minorities, the elderly, and those with disabilities. These groups often face barriers that hinder their access to resources and support, making them more susceptible to negative outcomes during crises or in the context of media coverage.
