From the author of The Trauma Beat: A Case for Re-Thinking the Business of Bad News comes another season of conversations that are meant to make us think differently about the way bad-news stories are collected and shared.
Unlike Season 1, which included almost exclusively conversations with trauma survivors speaking about the impact of the media coverage of their traumatic events, Season 2 will bring together voices from various other stakeholders: journalists, researchers, front-line service providers. And of course, there will be the voices of survivors, including in a very special season opener.
What impact does trauma have on journalists who are covering it? What is the cost for those who feel compelled to report traumatic stories in a way that goes against their moral code? Can those graphic crime-scene photos really spur social change? When does the harm outweigh the good? These questions and more will be tackled in Season 2 of The Trauma Beat.
