GIJN Webinar: Resilience & Reporting - Staying Healthy & Sane

April 8, 2020
9:00 AM

The second GIJN Webinar in our Investigating the Pandemic series, Resilience and Reporting, looks at how journalists can stay healthy and sane while covering the pandemic. Reporting traumatic events requires knowledge, skill and support. This webinar will offer insights  into the awareness that journalists need for their own mental well-being, to support their colleagues, and to improve their reporting. It will offer practical tips to meet these challenges and you will have a chance to ask questions.

Both speakers bring extensive experience with journalists dealing with trauma. Bruce Shapiro is executive director of the Dart Center for Journalism & Trauma at Columbia University in New York and a GIJN board member. Colombian journalist Maria Teresa Ronderos is former director of the Open Society Foundations’ Program on Independent Journalism and, in a range of positions, she has worked to protect the lives of journalists in danger.

This one-hour webinar is free and designed for journalists interested in investigating the pandemic. It is the second in a GIJN series, Investigating the Pandemic. Watch our Twitter feed @gijn for details of coming programs.
