Silent censorship: Trauma, burnout and press freedom

In this era of democratic crisis, the psychological resilience of journalists takes on a new urgency, and the occupational mental health of news professionals is a critical frontline of press freedom battles.

In this keynote, Bruce Shapiro, Executive Director of the Global Center for Journalism and Trauma, will discuss the relationship between press freedom, journalist psychological safety, news organization duty of care, and professional values, and offer an opportunity for reflection on pathways forward for a journalism community contending with the overlapping pressures of authoritarian threats, trauma-drenched news cycles, and economic change.
