Overview
Understanding News Reporting, Journalists and Audiences
So much of the media coverage has to do with traumatic events, whether natural or man-made! Gina Ross provides media professionals with an understanding of how the media can at times amplify trauma; and shows how the media can help heal it and gain the gratitude of its public. Gina’s book also underscores some of the real challenges in reporting in the 21st century.
Ross approaches her subject in a non-judgmental way, offering science-based theories and tools to understand trauma, its impact on reporters and on the public, and on world conflicts.
The EmotionAid® self-help technique she offers can be used on-the-spot, anywhere, anytime. The tools she brings help keep objectivity, build prevention and resiliency, and help others heal in our 24/7 news media world.
"Journalists today feel increasingly overwhelmed – by the multiplying horrors they must cover and by the growing scrutiny of their reporting in a polarized world. Gina Ross’ book is a gift to journalists, and to all those concerned with the media’s ability to keep faith with its mission for truth. Here is a voice of moral clarity, compassion and healing – a book written with the wisdom of the heart."
