In this edition of MVP we sit down with Bruce Shapiro, the executive director of the Dart Center for Journalism and Trauma, a project of Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism.  We explore the many different challenges journalists encounter when covering a mass violence incident and how the Dart Center is preparing and coordinating efforts to help journalists with the difficult circumstances on the scene.

Episode 2: Mass Violence & the Media

MVP is the official podcast of the National Mass Violence Victimization Resource Center, a joint project of the Medical University of South Carolina and the U.S. Office for Victims of Crime. Mass violence events seem to be increasing, and anxiety and fear about being exposed to mass violence is on the upswing. Each month, we consult with leading experts about what mass violence is, its impact on individuals and society, things that communities can do to prepare for mass violence events, resilience in the aftermath of mass violence, and ways that people and communities can recover and rebuild.
