The Recommendations on the Disclosure of Non-Normative Sexual Orientations, Gender Identities and Gender Characteristics in the Media were drafted by the Slovene Association of Journalists, the Journalists’ Ethics Council and a non-governmental organisation Legebitra. According to the document, journalists will be aware of the sensitivity of information about non-normative sexual orientations, gender identities and gender characteristics. Interviews will be approached with empathy, sensitivity and respect for the interviewee’s personal dignity. Disclosure will always be discussed with the person and an informed consent obtained in advance.
