Not always breaking news: Well-being in journalism

How does the media function in times of crisis? How do audiences respond to multiple stories of crisis one after another? Is it possible for journalists to cover conflict without causing harm to themselves or others? And what is the emotional cost of journalism in the 21st century? In this episode, Mar Cabra, a Pulitzer Prize–winning investigative journalist and the co-founder of The Self-Investigation, and Nat Kendall-Taylor, CEO of the FrameWorks Institute, a communications think tank, discuss how the stories we tell can balance truth and care.
