Discussion: Dealing with Trauma

April 26, 2011
5:00pm

Photojournalists -- whether they report on war or traffic accidents closer to home -- stand right at the frontline of reporting on violence and tragedy. This event will begin with the screening of a short documentary, "News Media and Trauma." Afterwards, there will be a discussion with Gavin Rees from the Dart Centre for Journalism and Trauma about what photographers need to know about self-care while working on traumatic  assignments. AP photographer Lefteris Pitakaris will be talking about some of the images that have affected him personally and will lead a discussion on working through the ethical dilemmas traumatic photographs can present.
