Privileged to have had this conversation for Columbia Journalism Review with Cinthia Membreño of Nicaraguan newsroom Confidencial which has had to leave it's country on exile because of the government's repressive tactics against the media.

3moSuch an important topic. Thank you for writing this and for your years of research. I was the one in the Courant newsroom who posted the Newtown Bee image of the kids lined up in a chain leaving Sandy Hook Elementary. I didn't give enough thought to the survivors and their families. The journalists on the scene are right to document mass violence the best they can, but editors -- like I was -- need to pause and think of the people involved. I also think I didn't realize the lasting power of digital journalism. There was a thought that the print paper was the first account of history and digital could be revised and updated. There's a hell of a lot more people who will Goggle coverage of an incident of mass violence than look at the microfiche of A1 of the Courant from December 15, 2012. Taking a moment to recognize our own humanity and connecting with people on the scene is key. You're right, valuing the stories of survivors is so important. Often just leaving people with your contact and a smile will yield the most impactful journalism.
