Tips for covering eating disorders.
- We ask that journalists try to strike a balance between “serious” and “hopeless,” and always encourage people to seek help for themselves or loved ones who are suffering. Recovery is long and often expensive, but it is achievable and there are many options available.
- Please include NEDA’s Information and Referral Helpline number and web link to information and treatment resources wherever possible. This helps people move beyond fear to a place of hope.

- If you need more information, please ask! The National Eating Disorders Association has the latest resources and in many cases we may be able to point you to treatment professionals or prevention volunteers in your coverage area. (We will not, for ethical and legal reasons, provide people who are in the throes of an illness to talk about their disease to the media.)
