With the guidance of the board of directors\, we have made the difficult decision to once again postpone our in-person annual conference scheduled for October 28-31 in Austin. While we were planning to offer some conference sessions virtually\, recent COVID-19 developments have made it unwise to ask our members to travel for an in-person meeting. \nA little over a month ago we were optimistic about vaccinations and excited to gather in person\, and we had great planning meetings on-site in Austin just a few weeks ago. We are still committed to bringing the annual conference to Austin and are working hard to find appropriate dates to gather in 2022. \nContinue reading → \n  \nPhoto: Rob Stalnaker via Flickr \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n\n\n\n\nCall for ideas\nAHCJ is gathering ideas for conference workshops and panels.

It’s been a bruising struggle for the high ground against misinformation\, disinformation and often very personal attacks on social media and in real life by news media-haters and science-rejecters. The strain of bearing witness to other people’s pain — on top of the personal losses many reporters have suffered — has made a hard job even more difficult. Is there a way to do this kind of work and stay psychologically healthy? The answer is yes. Find out how. \nView the recording See the presentation \n\n\nElana Newman\, Ph.D. is McFarlin Professor of Psychology at the University of Tulsa\, research director of the Dart Center for Journalism and Trauma\, and co-director of the University of Tulsa Institute of Trauma\, Adversity\, and Injustice.
