WAR, JOURNALISM & STRESS

To Frontline Journalists:

This web site has been developed as a service to front-line journalists. It provides a self-assessment program that you can use to assess your psychological well-being. It has been developed because research has shown that journalists who confront situations of grave danger may, in some cases, develop symptoms of emotional distress. These life threatening situations often occur far from home in situations where the appropriate health care expertise is not available.
