The Dart Center for Journalism and Trauma will deliver a 75-minute training focused on ethical and effective interviewing within a broader discussion of trauma awareness and self care. The training will cover best practices in interviewing traumatized or highly vulnerable sources, how to establish and maintain effective boundaries with sources as well as manage harassment and bullying from sources, subjects and news consumers. 

It’s brought to you through a collaboration with the Greater Cincinnati Society of Professional Journalists and the Society of Professional Journalists Mid-Michigan Pro Chapter.
