The Dart Fellowship in Journalism and Trauma has been established by the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies (ISTSS) and the Dart Foundation to build a cohort of journalists better prepared to report responsibly and credibly on violence and traumatic events. The fellowships provide mid-career and senior reporters, editors, and producers with an
opportunity to study the science and psychology of violent trauma, its aftermath, and its implications for newsgathering.

   Fellows will attend two days of intensive seminars with leading clinicians and researchers in trauma studies, gaining a basic understanding of prevailing scientific and psychological theories on the impact of violent and traumatic events on individuals and society and related issues.

   Fellowship seminars will immediately precede the ISTSS conference in New Orleans, December 6-9, 2001. The Dart Center covers travel and all costs of attending the conference. Interested individuals should e-mail the Dart Center to receive an application packet.
