Tips

mistakes
暴光 and 曝光 are competing forms for the same word. Modern dictionaries and news media prefer 曝光 (pùguāng / bàoguāng) for both 'photographic exposure' and 'public exposure of wrongdoing'; 暴光 still appears, especially in older text and casual writing, but is increasingly treated as a non-standard variant.
