100 Circle Road,Stony Brook NY 11794

05 April, 2023

Description

Join our panel discussion about the importance of building resilience and supporting mental health care for reporters covering conflict, trauma and the frontlines of wars. Like Marie Colvin herself, journalists can be reluctant to acknowledge their own struggles while reporting on overwhelming loss and tragedy. Although there is greater understanding of PTSD today, they still have to contend with the competitive pressures of fast-paced newsrooms and demanding editors. Marie’s example has shown that it is important to build resilience as well as reporting skills while training the next generation of foreign correspondents.
