This year the Gull og Gråstein conference for journalists working in the region around Norway will be focussing on the terror attack in July 22 that left 77 people dead.

Dart Centre Europe and the Norwegian Union of Journalists will be inviting journalists who covered the attacks and others to attend a series of panels exploring the aftermath of the tragedy. Trond Idås will be presenting results from a survey examining the impact of the event on the first journalists on the scene; Klas Backholm will be sharing insight from the experience of the school shootings in Finland; and Gavin Rees will be leading discussions on interviewing victims and on strategies for bolstering resilience during traumatic assignments.

The conference is located at the Sundvollen hotel where the victims from Utøya stayed for the first days after the tragedy. For more information visit the official website.
