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.

Seamus Kelters, who died suddenly on September 27, 2017, was an influential chronicler of Northern Ireland’s civil conflict and co-author of Lost Lives: The Story of the Men, Women and Children Who Died As The Result of the Northern Ireland Troubles. An early Ochberg Fellow, he played a central role in the Dart Center's evolution over many years. We asked several friends and colleagues for remembrances of Seamus and his work. Contributors include Susan McKay, Scott North, Donna De Cesare, Frank Ochberg, Joe High, Elana Newman, Gavin Rees and Bruce Shapiro.

A standard operating procedure (S.O.P.) is a device for building a systematic approach to a task.
