Overview

Key Points

  • Psychological stress and ethical dilemmas severely affect journalists operating in conflict zones, impacting their well-being and reporting quality.
  • Findings indicate a significant lack of institutional support, with trauma-informed training and mental health resources often missing.
  • Semi-structured interviews with 10 journalists provided primary data, revealing high levels of burnout and self-censorship in their work.
  • The study underscores systemic neglect in media environments; immediate changes are essential for safer, more ethical practices.
