The Challenges and Importance of Boundaries in Dealing with Vulnerable Sources in Journalism
Tuesday October 8, 2024 14:00 - 14:50 CEST
English
Session document
In ethical journalism, empathy and a responsible approach to sources are of great importance. But what does that mean?

Friederike Engst, Psychological Psychotherapist and Trainer at DART Center Europe and Helpline Germany and Tabea Grzeszyk repeatedly face questions addressing professional distance, doubts, and uncertainty in their respective roles. We want to discuss examples and the individual challenges of working with vulnerable protagonists (e.g., moral injury, vicarious trauma, feelings of guilt), the importance of boundaries—including one’s own—and the circumstances under which they might blur. We will talk about how to create a safe environment and minimize the risk of causing additional harm.
