Abstract

This article focuses on a peer-reviewed study from the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, United Kingdom, examining the intersection of personal trauma, journalism, and military service. The research uses reflective autoethnography to explore how prolonged exposure to conflict and trauma affects identity, psychological resilience, and professional ethics in individuals who are both journalists and soldiers. Key findings highlight insufficient institutional support in military and journalistic sectors, the importance of trauma awareness and ethics education, and a gap between academic teachings and real-world journalism practices. The study emphasizes the need for improved mental health support systems to address vicarious trauma among journalists. [Extracted from the article]
