Disaster and Crisis Coverage: Advice on
- Delivering news responsibly while staying safe
- Creating a disaster preparedness plan for your newsroom
- Ethics for working with grief-stricken survivors.
- Dealing with post-traumatic stress
Journalism and Trauma: How journalists interact with victims, survivors, and eyewitnesses of tragedy—and how they cope with the emotional impact of trauma on their own psyches.
