Mental health in journalism isn't just about deep breathing and breaks.

It also extends to what journalists cover and how they cover it. That means thinking critically, asking serious questions about journalism's relentless focus on problems and how our coverage affects both our communities' well-being and our own. This is especially true around climate change, where journalists face burnout and audiences — including those most likely to care — tune out.

Environmental journalist Yessenia Funes and Rebecca Weston, co-executive director of the Climate Psychology Alliance hosted a session exploring the effects of seemingly endless feeds of bad news, effects that extend to both creators and consumers. Then, they share tips and strategies for climate journalists to adjust their workflow to improve their own mental health and their relationship with readers and sources.
