After Trauma : Rethinking Journalism Education and Professional Cultures

The Journalism Education Trauma Research Group (JETREG) is pleased to announce its 2026 International Conference, to be held in Paris in June 2026. Building on the momentum of the JETREG conferences held in Sheffield (2023) and Oklahoma City (2024), the Paris conference marks a new phase in collective reflection on trauma in journalism.

Our Mission
Event Highlights

Over the past decade, research has clearly established that exposure to trauma is no longer exceptional in journalism but structural. Journalists across beats, platforms and career stages routinely encounter violence, disaster, injustice and human suffering—often without adequate preparation or institutional support. While earlier research has focused on identifying trauma, stress and their consequences, a critical question now emerges:

What changes after trauma is acknowledged as a defining condition of journalistic work?

The Paris 2026 conference invites participants to move beyond diagnosis and toward rethinking journalism, journalism education and professional cultures in the aftermath of trauma.
