TRANSCRIPT
Journalism and Trauma Workshop
Journalists are involved in the coverage of many dramatic situations during their career. They approach homicide, mass shooting, domestic violence, natural disasters, suicide, terrorism or civil conflicts. They interact with the victims, with the victim’s families, with the affected communities. They keep (and sometimes hide deep inside) unbearable lasting memories. Covering violence, trauma, mass disasters or individual atrocities and interviewing people who had faced trauma can lead to a serious psychological impact both on the journalists and on the people they interview. This training will help journalists understand core issues of trauma and will provide a safe framework for self-reflection on this topic. In addition, the training will offer practical ways of approaching and interviewing the victims and the survivors.
