Stresssicher und krisenfest. Sicherheit und Empowerment als Schlüssel für ethisches Handeln in Krisen

Crises and general challenges to internal and external security mean a double responsibility for journalism—in terms of how such topics are reported on and in terms of work routines. Key questions include: How do journalists cope with stress, provide information in exceptional situations, organize themselves, interact with those affected, and strengthen their coping skills? Qualitative interviews with journalists and psychologists were conducted to determine the current situation and identify deficits. The findings indicate that there is a need for individuals and organizations to catch up on basic knowledge about difficult security situations - for example, ethical considerations, warning chains, and stress management. In many cases, there is a lack of structures and concepts for how more psychological knowledge in these areas can strengthen stress and crisis management skills.
