Today, the Dart Center for Journalism and Trauma at the Journalism School announced the recipients of the 2011 Dart Center Ochberg Fellowships for coverage of violence and trauma.
The weeklong Ochberg Fellowships offer journalists a unique opportunity to learn about the many dimensions of psychological trauma and to forge relationships with colleagues who share their interests. Fellows attend seminars with leading experts in trauma science and the practice of journalism, and participate in the annual conference of the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies.
