Matthew Pearson, a Carleton University journalism professor, joins Shane Hewitt to talk about how he is pioneering a trauma-informed journalism course in Canada. His course uses simulated interviews to help students develop skills for sensitively covering traumatic events while also addressing the mental health challenges faced by journalists. This innovative approach, supported by a report Pearson co-authored highlighting the mental health risks for Canadian journalists, aims to improve both the ethical practice of journalism and the wellbeing of reporters.
