By combining empirical studies, theoretical discussions, and case-specific analyses, the book offers a crucial examination of how journalists experience, process, and navigate the psychological burdens associated with reporting traumatic events. The book seeks to contribute to ongoing development of trauma-informed journalistic practices, and a cultural shift towards prioritizing mental health in media organizations. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"background: white;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-ZA\" style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: #222222; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none; mso-ansi-language: EN-ZA; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKealeboga Aiseng\u003c\/strong\u003e is a senior lecturer in the Department of Media Studies at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg.
