Trauma Journalism
COM JO 544
Undergraduate Prerequisites: JO 200 - Graduate Prerequisites: JO 721 - Trauma is at the heart of news. A working journalist will most assuredly report on some type of traumatic event at some point in her career, whether covering a national tragedy or one family's personal nightmare. This course will explore the best practices for ethically and empathetically covering traumatic stories. A second important goal of this course will explore how journalists themselves can emotionally process what they have seen and heard on the job.
