Embedding Trauma Literacy into Curriculum: An Examination of the Attitudes of Australian and New Zealand Journalism Educators
Wake, Alexandra; Smith, Erin; Ricketson, Matthew
Journalism and Mass Communication Educator, v78 n2 p112-126 Jun 2023
Australia and New Zealand have reputations as countries prone to catastrophic and frequent natural and man-made disasters. Therefore, it is no surprise that antipodean academics want trauma-informed education for their journalism students. This study presents the Australian-New Zealand results of a 2021 survey exploring educators' attitudes toward embedding trauma literacy into journalism curriculum. It mirrors a survey from the UK-based Journalism Education and Trauma Research Group. The Australian-New Zealand results confirm that educators want more training to effectively embed trauma-informed reporting into their curricula. The discussion notes the availability of local, research-based teaching materials, and identifies barriers to implementation.
