"Responsible parrhesia?" by Sara Tafakori

The Price of Secrecy immerses the listener in stories of individual trauma, of child abuse and rape, yet also draws lessons from them of wider social significance. It includes moments of narrative catharsis, interspersed with repeated reminders that the stories are unfinished and open-ended—that the solutions lie out there, in social action, rather than in the stories themselves. The series also gestures towards structural critique, especially of ‘the legal constraints’ it identifies, yet it places greater importance on changing the wider culture through challenging the culture of secrecy and shame around victims’ stories of rape and abuse. This centrally means engaging with ‘family constraints’ in the shape of ‘family honour’. Yet it is also families who are presented as being able to ‘find the best resolution or action plan’, ideally with the aid of ‘someone like a therapist in a position of authority’. ‘Responsible listening’ in this context, does not invite the kind of frank and fearless truth-telling, or parrhesia that aims at tearing down hierarchical power relations. On the one hand, the podcast series deliberately invokes the authority of psychiatrists and therapists as sources of prestigious ‘modern’ medical and therapeutic knowledge—inevitably associated with the West—as a way of countering the defensiveness engendered by patriarchal honour codes. On the other hand, the series also shows how the key protagonists in its stories—mainly women—can both challenge and draw on the intimate resources of knowledge and support that family structures can afford, and that neither secrecy, nor a ‘will-to-truth’ that ignores social and cultural context, is productive for the victims.

#IFJBlog: Don't let your blower make you a sucker

Fergal Crehan dispenses simple advice to journalists when they go out to work. “Don’t take your phone”, he says. Smart phones are sieves through from data flows, compromising sources, jeopardising privacy and endangering their users, he warns. Standard fare from a tin-foil-hat-sporting conspiracy theorist. Crehan, however, is an eminent barrister, who specialises in data security, and who for many years worked for the mobile phone industry.

#IFJBlog: Journalists' safety deserves a convention

A year or so ago, I spoke at an event to commemorate British journalist Dom Phillips who was murdered while reporting from the Brazilian Amazon. His union, the NUJ UK and Ireland, hosted an exhibition of Phillips’ work. Members of his family travelled to the union’s headquarters in London to participate; it was an evening of tears and laughter. I felt privileged to make a modest contribution.

Cycling home that evening, I fretted about how easy warm words about the departed are, likewise vague commitments to future action. To the question of what one can personally do to make journalists safer, my ride home provided no answer.

This registered 74 media rights violations in the country in 2023, a slight increase from the 68 reported in 2022.
