Media Guidance
Representation Shapes Reality
The range of donor conceived experiences is vast. The range of donor conceived stories in media and culture is not.
Donor conception is appearing more frequently across journalism, television, film, books, and social media. That visibility matters, but visibility without range isn’t representation. Coverage that centers parents over donor-conceived voices, defaults to a narrow demographic slice, and treats a small band of stories as the whole leaves most donor conceived people invisible.
The narrow band persists not because of bad intentions but because the full range of donor conceived lives isn’t visible to most storytellers. We’re here to change that.
Donor Conception Media Guide
Our Media Guide helps journalists, writers, editors, and creators understand donor conceived people as a demographic with diverse experiences and perspectives. It provides considerations and language to represent donor conception in ways that respect and include donor conceived voices.
Authenticity & Sensitivity Reads
Developing a donor conceived character? Writing an article about donor conception? Creating a storyline that touches on genetic identity, DNA discovery, or donor siblings? Our authenticity and sensitivity reads service connects you with readers who can review your work and provide feedback.
