Drawing on expert contributions, case studies, and practical advice, Journalism in Adversity offers a compelling guide to practising journalism in complex and challenging conditions.From war zones and authoritarian regimes to natural disasters and systemic inequalities, this book helps students develop the vital intangible skills and resilience strategies which are often overlooked in the classroom but essential in today’s high-risk media environment. Chapters are organised into three sections: deconstructing objectivity, crisis coverage, and leveraging unique perspectives. Topics within these sections include source diversification, impact-focused reporting, navigating identity and code-switching, and managing personal well-being while covering traumatic events. Each chapter contains discussion questions and further reading to help solidify knowledge and encourage deep engagement with the issues discussed.Journalism in Adversity is a key text for students undertaking courses such as Advanced Reporting, Conflict Reporting, and Journalism Ethics.
