"Vulnerability is a strength we can leverage to captivate our readers, connect with the people we portray, and stay connected to ourselves. It doesn’t make us weaker, or less effective, or less impactful. Quite the contrary" writes GCJT journalism mentor Line Vaaben: lab.imedd.org/en/notes-fro...

Notes from an Existential Editor: On vulnerability  - iMEdD Lab
Line Vaaben, existential editor at Politiken and a mentor at the trauma and resilience retreat, reflects on why journalists who cover trauma must dare to be wounded.

"I watch younger journalists, and I really worry for them, because I see the stress in their faces. They share it with me in conversations who haven't had the kind of life experience and who are looking around and again, at an early stage in my career, are the bosses going to back me on this?"
