Here’s a roundup of all the skills our journalists-in-residence learned today at the @SPJregion11 convention in Honolulu, Hawaii! thespjnews.org/2023/11/21/goo…

The SPJ Hawaii convention started an important discussion on how PTSD affects journalists & why some journalists leave their job after a traumatic incident. Here’s our report on Marina Riker’s experience & trauma after losing her home in the Maui fires: thespjnews.org/2023/11/21/lah…

“Really try to put yourself in the shoes of someone who experienced the trauma of the natural disaster,” @marinastarleaf at the SPJ Region 11 convention in Honolulu

“We have to discuss in journalism schools how trauma affects journalists”, says @marinastarleaf who left journalism after the Maui fires took her house.

The Lahaina fire taught @ChelseaDavisHNN how important it was to be embedded within the community - because it was the community that was affected most by what happened. Know more about Chelsea's experience reporting on the most important story of 2023: thespjnews.org/2023/11/21/rep…

"Some of it is a little bit of guessing... you can't do a geosearch but you can do a lot of other things, like check on TikTok", says @maryvale from @GoogleNewsLab at the @SPJregion11 convention. Mary is leading a training on digital news reporting.
