The Dart Center:
— Advocates ethical and thorough
reporting of trauma; sensitive, professional treatment of victims
and survivors by journalists, and greater awareness by media organizations
of the impact of trauma coverage on both news professionals and
news consumers.
— Educates working journalists
about the science and psychology of trauma and the implications
for news coverage through this website, academic research, seminars,
workshops and training.
— Serves as a forum for print,
broadcast and Internet journalists to analyze issues, exchange
ideas and advance strategies related to reporting on violence
and catastrophic stress. We also create and sustain partnerships
among media professionals, therapists and others concerned with
trauma, and nurture peer-support among working journalists.
