New Online Resource for Journalists Presents Key Insights from Workshop
In October 2011, the Dart Center for Journalism and Trauma at Columbia University held the first ever educational workshop for journalists on intimate partner violence (IPV). The workshop brought together leading academics, public health experts, service providers and award-winning journalists with a select group of media professionals to address the challenges and opportunities to improving coverage of this critical public health issue.

As a result, the Dart Center has launched a new online resource featuring the key insights from the workshop. Any journalist covering IPV can access these materials and benefit from the workshop presentations, dialogues and peer-to-peer learning sessions with seasoned journalists, such as Jan Hoffman of the New York Times, Sacha Pfieffer, host of WBUR’s “All Things Considered,” and Maria Hinojosa, anchor for NPR’s “Latino USA.”

The toolkit includes expert tips sheets, compelling video testimony, informative presentations, and contact information for subject experts as well as other resources.
