No matter what the beat or medium, young journalists are almost certain to encounter human tragedy in the course of their work. But few student journalists are trained to recognize trauma and stress reactions in survivors, to make informed ethical choices about trauma news, or to deal with their own emotional reactions while on the job. With this in mind, the Dart Center for Journalism and Trauma has established a new Academic Fellowship Program.

The fellowship will take place at the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism in New York City June 17 to 19. Open to college and university journalism faculty and advisers to student media, the program is designed to prepare educators to teach effective trauma journalism — the art of newsgathering, storytelling and self-care in the midst of profound human tragedy and its aftermath.
