Session document
Journalists require healthy, ethical and trauma-aware approaches to their work.
The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, the Dart Center for Journalism & Trauma, and the Canadian Journalism Forum on Violence & Trauma together will present an interactive case study that will introduce a new suite of online resources designed to better prepare newsrooms, reporters and journalism school educators for coverage of violence, conflict and tragedy. The toolkit provides news professionals with a host of self-care resources, alongside practical approaches to ethical engagement with victims and survivors of traumatic experiences.

Case study presenters Dave Seglins (CBC), Jane Hawkes (Canadian Forum) and Ariel Ritchin (Dart Center) bring with them decades of experience leading newsroom training, teaching journalism school courses, producing their own original reporting and advocating for the mental health of journalists all over the world.
