We've invited a couple of people associated with the Dart Center for Journalism and Trauma to come talk with our students here at the Northern Star on Friday, April 4. Not only will it be a valuable conversation with experts in covering tragedy, but it will serve as a chance for our students to decompress a little and talk about the experience they’ve just been through.
I'm also looking to "share" our guests with the larger journalism community. If you or co-workers have covered tragedy (especially NIU’s), you are welcome to come to the Northern Star office that morning for a journalists-only conversation starting at 9:30 a.m. If you or anyone on your staff is interested, just let me know sometime this week.
Our guests are Bruce Shapiro, the executive director; and Deb Nelson, who teaches at the University of Maryland, is a former Pulitzer winner with the Seattle Times and more recently was investigations editor at the Washington Post. She's also an NIU and Northern Star alumna.
