Hosted by award-winning journalist, trauma researcher and author Tamara Cherry, The Trauma Beat podcast features conversations with trauma survivors, survivor support workers, investigators and journalists. From homicides to traffic fatalities and sexual violence to mass violence, The Trauma Beat explores how the news media covers traumatic events, the impact this coverage has on survivors and journalists, and how we all might be able to tell (and consume) these very important stories, better. Based on Tamara’s book, The Trauma Beat: A Case for Re-Thinking the Business of Bad News.

From the author of The Trauma Beat: A Case for Re-Thinking the Business of Bad News comes another season of conversations that are meant to make us think differently about the way bad-news stories are collected and shared.
Unlike Season 1, which included almost exclusively conversations with trauma survivors speaking about the impact of the media coverage of their traumatic events, Season 2 will bring together voices from various other stakeholders: journalists, researchers, front-line service providers. And of course, there will be the voices of survivors, including in a very special season opener.
What impact does trauma have on journalists who are covering it? What is the cost for those who feel compelled to report traumatic stories in a way that goes against their moral code? Can those graphic crime-scene photos really spur social change? When does the harm outweigh the good? These questions and more will be tackled in Season 2 of The Trauma Beat.
