This edited volume explores the phenomenon of secondary trauma among sub-Saharan African journalists tasked with covering violent events, conflicts, and crises, shedding light on the profound psychological and emotional impacts of witnessing violence indirectly through their professional reporting. By combining empirical studies, theoretical discussions, and case-specific analyses, the book offers a crucial examination of how journalists experience, process, and navigate the psychological burdens associated with reporting traumatic events. The book seeks to contribute to ongoing development of trauma-informed journalistic practices, and a cultural shift towards prioritizing mental health in media organizations.
