Trauma Reporting by Jo Healey | Trauma Reporting
Full of vital, sensible and practical advice. All journalists, especially those just starting out on their careers, would benefit from absorbing this clear, thoughtful and much needed guide.

Families we have supported tell us the way they are treated by the media can have a massive impact on them. We welcome the level-headed and practical advice in this important book which will increase the confidence of reporters and reduce any unnecessary distress for families.
Child Bereavement UK
Dealing with personal tragedy is hard enough but dealing with the media often compounds the pain, trauma and powerlessness of uninvited experiences. It doesn’t have to be like that. The insight and the guidance in this book reflect compassionate, ethical and professional practices that can only benefit journalists as well as those they work with and for.
