Summary:
"A groundbreaking and thorough examination of the
trauma
caused by the media covering crimes, both to victims and journalists, from a respected journalist and victim advocate. In The
Trauma
Beat, an eye-opening combination of investigative journalism and memoir, former big-city crime reporter Tamara Cherry calls on her award-winning skills as a journalist to examine the impact of the media on
trauma
survivors, and the impact of
trauma
on members of the media. As Tamara documents the experiences of those who were forced to suffer on the public stage, she is confronted by everything she got wrong on the crime beat. Covering murders and traffic fatalities to sexual violence and mass violence, Cherry exposes a system set up to fail
trauma
survivors and journalists. Why do some families endure a swell of unwanted attention after the murder of a loved one, while others suffer from a lack of attention? What is it like to have a microphone shoved in your face seconds after escaping the latest mass shooting? What is the lasting impact on the reporter holding that microphone? The
Trauma
Beat explores these issues with the raw, reflective detail of a journalist moving from ignorance to understanding and shame to healing."--Publisher.
