Addressing Burnout as a Journalist in a Pandemic

This past year has been especially challenging for journalists of colour, who have been tasked with covering a global pandemic that disproportionately affects communities of colour, while experiencing the impacts of that pandemic in their own daily lives—and while the media is going through their own race reckoning. Many journalists have experienced symptoms of burnout, such as exhaustion, depression, or a lack of motivation to work. This session will examine the mental and emotional impact of working in a pandemic as a journalist of colour, and offer ways to navigate those feelings.
