@Mike_Pence Thank you for the uncommon common decency 🙏

[Dan Rather @DanRather]

Be kind. Stay steady. Help someone. Check in on an old friend. Listen to your favorite music. Have a good weekend.

[Danielle Killian @FearLess365LA]

@formlainc @USGBCLA @convobydesign Agreed! Excited to hear the latest from you and @USGBCLA. Do we need to register?

[Danielle Killian @FearLess365LA]

@chrisvanderveen Yes AND the world needs well funded journalism. The Los Angeles Sheriff's Department public information budget is $4.8 million with 42 staffers and some $200K salaries. How can emaciated local news keep up with that?

[Danielle Killian @FearLess365LA]

@chrisvanderveen This is why civilian oversight must include the public information function! @NACOLE_org @LACountyCOC

[Danielle Killian @FearLess365LA]

Emaciated local news organizations are no match for well-funded law enforcement disinformation campaigns. This is why civilian #oversight must include the public information function. #PoliceReformNow #PoliceAccountability #LocalNewsMatters #GeorgeFloydTrial

[Chris Vanderveen (yep…me) @chrisvanderveen]

Reminder to all journalists...

This is how Minneapolis initially reported the death of #GeorgeFloyd

@GovHerbert Thank you for the honesty - finally. My family's health depends upon R leaders showing a little genuine concern for their fellow man and actually leading.

NPR's @deborahamos: Are these tragic victims? Or are these resilient survivors... as the reporter, you see the truth is they are resilient survivors. Keep resilience as your frame. #traumainformed #JournalismMatters #SurvivorsAgenda

"I approach traumatized subjects by asking open-ended questions, by giving them agency. I open the interview by saying: 'Tell me your story.'" — Jen Percy, reporter, "How Does the Human Soul Survive Atrocity?"

Andrea Simakis: "The story doesn't end with the verdict... get out of the Law and Order box if you can." | @DartCenter Awards #traumainformed #journalism

Andrea Simakis: "The way we treat police. The way we address their trauma - that is how they will treat us.” #traumainformed #JournalismMatters #PoliceReform

[Global Center for Journalism & Trauma @traumajourno]

It's OK not to cajole someone to be a character in your story. If at any point, they don't want to be part of it, it's OK. That is what we mean by understanding and giving people agency over their own story, says @jsmithrichards.

"Sometimes we just knew it was time to stop. And we stopped. And said: we'll come back again. And again." — @AndreaSimakis on reporting the Dart Award winning piece "Case Closed".

Jennifer Smith Richards: "We weren't talking people into their story... We wanted people who deeply wanted to share their stories with us." #traumainformed #traumacompetent #journalism

[Global Center for Journalism & Trauma @traumajourno]

"We handled consent by approaching parents and guardians and being clear about what it means to be published... what it means to be on the front page of the Chicago Tribune." — @jsmithrichards on securing consent when working with children and teens.

How do you handle immersion in difficult stuff? Deb Amos: "Talk. Talk and talk. Anyone who works with PTSD will tell you you have to talk your trauma until it doesn’t rattle you anymore." | @DartCenter Awards #vicarioustrauma #traumainformed

[Global Center for Journalism & Trauma @traumajourno]

"Some of the people I talked to had been gathering their own evidence for years trying to get people to listen." — @lucytompkins2 on reporting "Troubled kids, troubled system," a series of stories in the @missoulian that prompted changes in legislation.

[Danielle Killian @FearLess365LA]

Beautiful to hear how Andrea Simikis put the survivor in the driver's seat, allowing her to review and reject or approve each image included in telling her story. | @DartCenter Awards #traumainformed #journalism #JournalismMatters #survivorsspeaks

[Danielle Killian @FearLess365LA]

Deb Amos @DartCenter Awards: "There is therapy in justice." Great reporting helps there. #traumainformed #journalism #JournalismMatters

[Danielle Killian @FearLess365LA]

Already so uplifted by the 2020 @DartCenter Awards! How do we interview traumatized people? Deb Amos: "Sometimes you can't. Some people will shatter... you have to listen... be open to people's stories, and you have to know when you can't. #traumainformed #journalism
