Episode Synopsis
CORRECTION: Emily Sachs states the Dart Center was founded in 1994, but it was founded in 1999.Journalists often report on the worst moments of others' lives, but who supports them? In this episode, Emily Sachs, clinical psychologist and director of the Journalist Trauma Support Network (a project of the Dart Center at Columbia Journalism School), unpacks the unseen toll journalism can take. We explore how trauma manifests in the newsroom, what makes journalists uniquely vulnerable and how JTSN is training therapists to meet these challenges with industry-specific insight. Sachs also shares actionable ways journalists can protect their mental health and reclaim joy in their work before burnout becomes a breaking point.Resources can be found at JTSN.org.
