LONDON, ON, May 29, 2024 /CNW/ - Leaders in journalist safety today unveiled a new suite of online resources designed to help better prepare newsrooms, journalists and educators for coverage of trauma, violence and disaster. Trauma Aware Journalism (TAJ): A News Industry Toolkit features a series of free "micro-learning" videos, online resources and study guides on how journalists can best cover people and communities that are suffering, as well as on how to protect the mental health of news professionals. The project is produced by the Dart Center for Journalism and Trauma, CBC/Radio-Canada, and the Canadian Journalism Forum on Violence and Trauma. Jane Hawkes, co-founder and executive producer of the Canadian Journalism Forum on Violence and Trauma said the TAJ project aims to fill a long-standing gap in training and education. The Canadian Journalism Forum on Violence and Trauma thanks CNW for supporting this announcement.
