NO NEWS MONDAY… just a heads up, the @KATUNews morning and afternoon shows have been preempted and will NOT air on Monday, Sep. 27th. The entire news team is attending a seminar to help deal with on-the-job stress and trauma… #stressmanagement#LiveOnK2
In almost 25 years as a photojournalist, I’ve never seen a newsroom do this. But it’s been a crazy time filled with a raging pandemic, out of control violence, political unrest, riots, and ongoing death & destruction. Personally speaking, seeing bodies daily gets to you #stress
Even had a viewer send me this card, encouraging me to make sure I take care of myself… PTSD took the life of her ex-husband. As journalists we tend to move on to the next thing, and try to block out the bad stuff… #LiveOnK2#stressmanagement#Mentalhealth
A team from Poynter Institute is presenting a program designed to help journalists cope with on-the-job stress and trauma. So our whole newsroom will be there to learn to do just that, and will not be producing morning or afternoon shows #LiveOnK2#Mentalhealth
It’s hard for us news folks to just stop. But I am grateful for a company and managers who care about our mental health and well being. We’ll still be keeping an eye on things, just taking a day to feel better. Thanks for watching, see ya Tuesday! #LiveOnK2#stresstostrength
