Episode 1

This podcast is about a recent knowledge exchange event that took place at the University of Sheffield and was organised by Dr. Lada T. Price from the School of Journalism, Media and Communication on behalf of The Journalism Education Trauma Research Group (JETREG).

The knowledge exchange symposium aimed to highlight current multidisciplinary research into trauma, emotion and resilience in journalism and media work; psychological and emotional safety of journalists/media workers, pedagogical approaches and best practice to trauma literacy in journalism education/training and the various experiences of trauma, emotional labour or (un)happiness in journalism/media.

We have also sought the perspectives of scholars from different disciplines, practicing journalists/freelancers/editors on coping strategies and/or newsroom support that may have pedagogical relevance.
