  • The Emotional Toll of Journalism

    The Emotional Toll of Journalism
    2025/11/17
    Most people think journalists are trained to stay detached, to report the story, and not feel it. But what happens when the story breaks you? In this episode we talk with journalist and researcher Louisa Ortiz Pérez, founder of the Media Resilience Network, who launched a groundbreaking survey exploring the emotional toll of journalism during the era of layoffs, audience distrust, and constant crisis coverage. Louisa reveals what her data shows about: 🧠 Burnout, anxiety, and “moral injury” in the newsroom 💔 How layoffs and social media toxicity are reshaping reporters’ sense of purpose 🎙️ Why many journalists feel silenced, even in organizations built to tell the truth 🌍 And what needs to change to make journalism sustainable again This conversation is candid, compassionate, and deeply human: a look at what it really means to do the work of journalism when the industry itself is falling apart.
