We’ll hear from Dr. Dana Rose Garfin, Assistant Professor of Community Health Sciences at UCLA, about how repeated media coverage of crises can cause anxiety, PTSD, and even cardiovascular symptoms. Also, with us, Ja’Nel Johnson Phillips, Western Region Manager for Solutions Journalism Network, which focuses on how people solve the problems that we see reported on so often. Plus, we’ll hear from Eric Deggans, a media critic with National Public Radio, who sees cable news, sowing fear and panic among viewers to keep them engaged.
