Circles of Support and Accountability (CoSA) are now part of the criminal justice landscape in various parts of the world. While CoSA have received considerable media attention, it is not yet known how they are portrayed in the media.

The findings provide a platform from which the international CoSA community can develop strategic approaches to interacting with the media.
