Grief in the Gulf

June 13, 2010 by Tanya Paperny

A slow-motion environmental disaster is far different from a hurricane, an earthquake or a war, but the potential for trauma is just as great. Covering this story requires comprehensive reporting across many disciplines: engineering and economics, science and the environment, politics, public policy and the law. It also requires sensitivity when interviewing potentially traumatized individuals caught up in the disaster.

Here's an array of resources for journalists in the Gulf Coast and beyond who are reporting the impact of the spill.

Journalism and Trauma

Interviewing Victims: The Dart Center's comprehensive guide to newsgathering in the aftermath of a tragedy.
Best Practices in Trauma Reporting: The University of Hawaii's Kevin Kawamoto provides an overview.

Reporting the Spill

The Daily Glob: This Gulf oil spill tracking blog from the Society of Environmental Journalists contains updates on the spill, an array of sources and links to outstanding media coverage.
BP Oil Spill Journalism Toolbox: The Poynter Institute's Al Tompkins tracks developments on the Gulf Coast and discusses emerging ethical issues for reporters and photographers.
NOLA.com: Journalists at the New Orleans Times-Picayune, seasoned by their coverage of Hurricane Katrina, track the latest news from the Deepwater Horizon drilling disaster.
TampaBay.com: Original reporting from the Tampa Bay Tribune and links to authoritative environmental and oceanographic resources track the impact on the Florida coastline.
Gulf Spill Demystified: CNN.com's glossary of terms related to the spill.
Covering Health: The blog from the Association of Healthcare Journalists offers some tips on covering the spill's human health impacts.

Crowdsourcing and Other Resources

LA Bucket Brigade.org: Eyewitness reports of the effects of the oil spill submitted via text message, email, Twitter and the web: oil sightings, affected animals, odors, health effects and other impacts populate points on this public, interactive, web-based map, produced by a Louisiana environmental advocacy group and Tulane University.
Google Crisis Response: A compendium of reports from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Google Earth and a variety of user-generated content.
Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill Trajectory: The University of South Florida Ocean Circulation Group uses aerial photographs of the oil slick and readings of wind and water currents to create an animated projection of where the oil will go next.

Journalists under Fire: The Psychological Hazards of Covering War

War journalists, like all who have prolonged exposure to violence, come home emotionally maimed and often broken. And yet, a news culture in denial has pretended that war journalists are immune from trauma. This fit into the macho culture of war journalism. It also assuaged the consciences of those running news organizations, who often crumple up and discard, years later, those they send to war. Dr. Feinstein has provided us with research that is a chilling reminder that war journalists are human, as well as a searing indictment of major news conglomerates who have refused to acknowledge or address the suffering of their own.

Witness to an Extreme Century: A Memoir

In this long-awaited memoir, Lifton charts the adventurous and surprising course of his fascinating life journey, one that took him from what he refers to as, "a Jewish Huck Finn childhood in Brooklyn, to deep and meaningful friendships with many of the most influential intellectuals, writers, and artists of our time—from Erik Erikson, David Riesman, and Margaret Mead, to Howard Zinn and Kurt Vonnegut, Stanley Kunitz, Kenzaburo Oe, and Norman Mailer. This work is more than a memoir, it is also a remarkable study of Hiroshima survivors. Lifton explored the human consequences of nuclear weapons, and then went on to uncover dangerous forms of attraction to their power in the spiritual disease he calls nuclearism. Lifton writing illuminates the reversal of healing and killing in ordinary physicians who had been socialized to Nazi evil. Written with the warmth of spirit—along with the humor and sense of absurdity—that have made Lifton a beloved friend and teacher to so many, Witness to an Extreme Century is a moving and deeply thought-provoking story of one man’s extraordinary commitment to looking into the abyss of evil in order to help others move past it.

The Nazi Doctors: Medical Killing and the Psychology of Genocide

The Boston Globe called this book, "A powerful reminder not only of what happened, but of the monumental evil done by the particular human beings who were trained to heal and cure."

Sites also shares the unsettling narrative of his own failures during war—including his complicity in a murder—and the redemptive powers of storytelling that saved him from a self-destructive downward spiral.
