The Journalism Education Trauma Research Group (JETREG) is pleased to announce its 2026 International Conference, to be held in Paris in June 2026. Building on the momentum of the JETREG conferences held in Sheffield (2023) and Oklahoma City (2024), the Paris conference marks a new phase in collective reflection on trauma in journalism.
Conference aims
The conference aims to explore how the recognition of trauma reshapes: journalistic norms, values and professional identities;
newsroom cultures, leadership and institutional responsibilities; journalism education, pedagogy and curriculum design;
ethical frameworks guiding reporting, teaching and supervision; collective, cultural and transnational approaches to care, resilience and responsibility. The conference welcomes multidisciplinary perspectives and encourages dialogue between researchers, educators, and media practitioners.
