Learn the basics of reporting on the sex industry.

Sex work seems to be everywhere these days. Storylines about sex workers have popped up in shows like Euphoria, Margo’s Got Money Troubles, and Hacks. Sweeping internet censorship laws are billed as the only way to protect kids from porn. Yet even as OnlyFans has become a household name, few journalists actually understand the inner workings of this often underground industry — or how to build trust that’s needed to get sex worker sources to open up about these stories. In this course, Lux Alptraum, an adult industry expert and one-time editor of the porn blog Fleshbot, will walk you through the basics of reporting on the sex industry. In addition to providing an overview of the different corners of the sex industry, she’ll also explain why so many sex workers do not trust journalists, and walk participants through the best practices for covering adult industry-related topics.
