The Dart Center has announced the recipients of its first ever reporting fellowships on early childhood development. The fellows will have six months to work on stories across the globe. These reporting fellowships were made possible by the Bernard van Leer Foundation, the Jacobs Foundation, the Maria Cecilia Souto Vidigal Foundation and the Two Lilies Fund.

The Ochberg Fellowship, now in its 20th year, is the Dart Center's flagship program for senior and mid-career journalists who wish to deepen their knowledge of emotional trauma and psychological injury, and improve reporting on violence, conflict and tragedy. The next fellowship will take place July 22-27, 2019. Applications will open on November 15, 2018.

For journalists on every beat, managing personal boundaries and safety can pose difficult choices and challenges. Women journalists in particular contend with unwanted presumptions, sexual harassment and the threat of violence. The Dart Center asked nine leading women in journalism to talk about the impact of these challenges on their work, and to reflect on their own best practices. This video is the result.

The Dart Center surveyed 247 journalists around the world about the safety trainings they attended, the skills they acquired and the gaps between these trainings and their professional needs on the ground. This report, prepared by an interdisciplinary team of researchers in psychology, occupational safety and journalism practice, details the results.

A standard operating procedure (S.O.P.) is a device for building a systematic approach to a task. This guide, written by Dart Centre Europe Director Gavin Rees, goes through a series of structured steps for how to craft a personalised workflow for handling graphic content that depicts death, injury, and other violations.
