This style guide is designed as a quick, authoritative reference for reporters, editors and producers working on tight deadlines. It includes brief evidence-informed guidance on news choices, language usage and ethics in reporting on the impact of trauma on individuals, families and communities; recommendations for appropriate use of relevant psychological and scientific terminology; and special considerations when reporting on consequential trauma-laden issues such as racism and sexual violence.

The Dart Center has announced the recipients of its three Early Childhood Reporting Fellowship programs. "Around the world, this is a difficult time for young children and their caregivers. Escalating adversity in early childhood - whether from war, civil conflict, economic inequality, violence, the pandemic or environmental disasters all have a lifelong impact. The 36 extraordinary journalists chosen for this Fellowship are deeply committed to illuminating these critical issues, drawing on evidence-based science and policy to produce reporting that makes a difference in their regions and around the globe." said Bruce Shapiro, the Dart Center’s executive director.
