About this book

This textbook offers the first practical guide to managing emotions in everyday journalism work based on interviews with more than 30 British journalists. It raises awareness of emotional situations and stressors journalists may face, so practitioners are better able to recognise these and prepare for them, and outlines practical emotion management strategies which they can apply to enhance their emotional intelligence and resilience and consequently, feel and perform better in the workplace. It includes vignettes written by journalists from the United Kingdom, United States, Australia and Croatia, as well as practical scenario exercises that prompt readers to reflect on how they would feel and react in specific situations based on journalists’ everyday work.​
