Journalists Journalism Self-censorship Attacks Hostility Journalism education
Since 2013, I have been studying the well-being of journalists, with a particular focus on their psychological health and reactions to negative stress and burnout. More recently, since 2017, my research has shifted towards the safety of journalists. I am interested not only in studying the safety of journalists themselves but also in examining the role of organizations in ensuring journalists are safe. In my research, I investigate various aspects of attacks on journalists, including how journalists are attacked, the content of those attacks, counterparts of attacks, and the consequences of attacks on journalists and journalism. Additionally, over the last two years, I have been researching what and how to teach future journalists at universities.
