Crime reporting today is making things worse
Listen now
Description
Formerly one of Canada’s top crime reporters, Tamara Cherry witnessed gruesome violence and terrible trauma. What she says she didn’t realize was how the way she and others covered the crime beat was worsening pain for survivors, responders and reporters themselves. Cherry, author of the new book The Trauma Beat: A Case for Re-Thinking the Business of Bad News, joins host Brian Lilley, himself no stranger to crime reporting. Cherry explains how she came to discover the damaging psychological toll crime reporting was taking on her, the victims and even the public, and the new approach she wants the media to take when it comes to covering everyone’s worst nightmares.
