A collaboration between the Franklin College Pulliam School of Journalism and Trust for Trauma Journalism
September 21-22, 2023

The Second National Trauma Journalism Symposium will focus on helping journalists to provide better coverage of traumatic news stories and to take better care of themselves when they do report on such painful events. The two-day experience will feature journalists, communications professionals, mental health professionals and people who have been part of traumatic news stories. The discussions will aim at helping storytellers to tend to their own mental health and to approach their work with greater insight and sensitivity.
