This is Journogenic and Iatrogenic Harm @washingtonpost & @drbufka Was there any point to this story or basis for it?
Ostensibly, stress is bad in crisis. You spiked it by “managing stress” and fluff instead of information.
I have the feeling you will not go back to understand that you had a journalistic obligation NOT to run such pieces. At all.
This is a difficult thought: Maybe you aren’t. Maybe you were supposed to be doing journalism. And maybe that’s not what you do.
Can we consider that without anger or malice? Maybe you @washingtonpost & @drbufka are just in the wrong business.
