Reporting responsibly and credibly on
violence and traumatic events — on crime, family violence,
natural disasters and accidents, war and genocide — are
among the greatest challenges facing contemporary journalism.
The Dart Center Ochberg Fellowship has been established by the
International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies and the Dart
Center in order to build a cohort of journalists better prepared
for this challenge.
The Dart Center provides six or more expense-paid fellowships
to mid-career journalists who want to apply knowledge of emotional
trauma to improving coverage of violent events.
Fellowships are open to print and broadcast reporters, photographers,
editors and producers with at least five years of journalism experience.
Fellows will attend a two-day seminar on the role emotional trauma
plays in coverage of violent events, then will have access to
all events and speakers in the annual conference of the International
Society for Traumatic Stress Studies (istss.org).
