At the meeting we will introduce the course and have agreements with each other. The intro part is followed by a lecture where we look into why safety of journalists is an important topic. We will look into different types of cases from all over the world. We will talk about a concept called self-censorship. It has many different names. After the lecture, we will have a seminar where we will discuss on the matter of journalists being influenced or attacked - why it matters. What can be done as an audience member? As a journalist? Let's map solutions for ourselves.
At the meeting we will talk about conflicts in journalists job. The focus on negativity. Why are journalists so negative all the time? We will look into concepts called constructive and solution journalism, positive psychology. What is the role of audience in all of this negativity? Who has the Schadenfreude syndrome? At the seminar we will discuss and try to use tools of positive psychology. We will agree on one good habit for a month. Can you be a good journalist when being an optimist?
During this meeting, we get the chance to meet with people who either study war journalism from different angles or who work in the middle of a war. You all have chances to be very active and ask questions from our participants. Why is it hard to be a journalist? Well, one answer is that you have to make decisions that are not easy, sometimes they even hurt you. It is called moral injury. Also, what is the results of journalists seeing death, blood, war, people crying, or on the other hand, partying people, drunk people, etc. Please bring some of these very difficult decisions you have to have made to the seminar. Let's discuss what makes it difficult for us to make up our minds. What are our moral boundaries and how to keep them safe?
