Reporting on the resilience narrative

Chinyere Amobi interviews psychiatry Professor Glenda Wrenn on how journalists can help trauma victims recover: "When people are telling their story they include the ups and downs, and it’s the listener that has the bias to want to tell that positive story. I think what’s needed is a change in posture: to listen to those downs and try to include them — not just what fits into a nice arc for a story, but recognizing that the downs are part of the resilience narrative."
