News Media Coverage of MVIs
MVP returns for a new season as host Dan Smith is joined by the NMVC's Associate Academicc Program Director, Anne Seymour, to talk about news media coverage of mass violence incidents. The news media is an essential partner for law enforcement during an MVI, especially to disseminate immediate messages and warnings to the public quickly. But it’s important for journalists to learn about appropriate, sensitive, and victim-informed coverage of traumatic events, and to educate themselves on vicarious trauma when covering complex and disturbing topics.
