The Canadian Journalism Forum on Violence and Trauma is an educational charitable organization that promotes the physical and emotional safety of journalists in Canada and abroad. We also address the impact of coverage on people caught up in violent and traumatic stories as well as the effects that covering violence and trauma may have on news consumers.
