Virtually Prepared
Using virtual reality (VR), six journalism students were given training on how to cover a protest that turns violent. The goal was to investigate if VR could help increase awareness of and resilience to the physical and psychological dangers of journalistic work. Pre- and post-interviews were analyzed for themes associated with learning and resilience. Results suggest the VR simulation invoked a sense of realism and generated genuine reactions th…
Unprecedented Times in Journalism
This study explored emotional distress and organizational support in the context of covering the COVID-19 pandemic. A survey of 222 local journalists in the US revealed covering the story was both stressful and emotionally difficult. Females and those who were younger and less experienced perceived higher levels of stress and felt the story was more emotionally difficult than their counterparts. Females also felt their supervisors were less emoti…
Covering Covid
The COVID-19 pandemic forced unprecedented changes upon journalists in the United States as they attempted to cover the story while adhering to the same stay-at-home orders as the rest of the public. This study used organizational support theory to investigate the stress associated with the logistics of coverage early in the pandemic and how perceived organizational support played a role in either alleviating or adding to that stress. In total, 2…
Making sense of Harvey
Thirty journalists who covered hurricane Harvey and who also lived in affected areas were interviewed to explore how journalists make sense of and cope with their exposure to hurricane-related trauma. Baumeister’s four needs for meaning framework was used as a guide to uncover how journalists used justification, purpose, efficacy, and self-worth to find meaning in their traumatic experiences. Journalistic mission and purpose were strong drivers f…
Emotional Labor During Disaster Coverage
Journalists are among the many professionals whose daily work involves emotional labor, or the manipulation of their emotions in front of others, in orderto do their jobs. This study explored the tenets of emotional labor in the context of natural disaster– a scenario when the emotional burden is high and the energy to cope with it is low. Qualitative analysis of 30 interviews with journalists who covered hurricane Harvey revealed journalists act…
Weathering the Storm
When a hurricane strikes, journalists provide description of what happens, keep the public up-to-date after the event, and even contribute to the recovery and resiliency of their community. These efforts place journalists in a position to suffer not only physical, but psychological stress symptoms. Using the Holistic Model of Occupational Stress as a framework, 30 local journalists who covered Hurricane Harvey were studied to discover the occupat…
Are we teaching trauma
Covering violence is an expected part of the daily job for many journalists in the United States; however, are college and university programs fully preparing students for what they may experience? This study surveyed accredited journalism schools in the United States. Of the 41 respondent schools, only one offered a course specifically aimed at teaching journalists how to protect themselves from psychological trauma and how best to interact with…
Personal and Organizational Predictors of Compassion Fatigue Symptoms in Local Television Journalists
Compassion fatigue is a form of traumatic stress that results from repeated encounters with victims of trauma and traumatic situations. Most often studied in counselors, nurses, and first responders, this study applies the concept to journalists who often encounter the same victims and traumatic scenes. Seventy reporters from different television markets were measured for the personal and professional factors that contribute to compassion fatigue…
Journalism and Trauma
Competition for ratings and an ever-increasing public hunger for information have led to an abundance of death and suffering on the local evening news because these topics are both eye catching and attention grabbing. But while a great deal of research exists on journalists who cover war, very little can be found which investigates the local journalist and how they continue to do their jobs in the face of the murders, fatal car accidents and fire…
