Panel: Making Secondary Trauma a Primary Issue

At the International Journalism Festival in Perugia, Italy, a panel on the effects of vicarious trauma among news professionals.

Are managers doing enough to protect their staff?  Are journalists and human rights workers allowed to speak up when they’ve spent the day looking at horrors on their computer screen? And what steps can protect news professionals from the potential negative consequences of graphic image overload?
