Mechelen - Belgium - Europe
1:45 - 3:00pm

This session offers a highly practical dive into how to protect yourself against the unwanted impacts of vicarious trauma exposure. We’ll be talking about workflows: different ways of viewing distressing content, how to configure your machine and what it takes to manage these issues in teams.

Dataharvest 2024 | The European Investigative Journalism Conference Session: "Dealing with Vulnerable Sources"

Mechelen - Belgium - Europe
4:45 - 6:00pm

Too often, survivors are seen only as victims, when they are actually the key witnesses to major events that are not properly documented in the paper trails that journalists are accustomed to working with. In this session, two experts from the Dart Center for Journalism and Trauma will talk about creating a safe environment, building trust while respecting boundaries, including one’s own, and minimising the risk of causing additional harm.
