The National Press Club and Project Healthy Minds, a Millennial and Gen-Z-driven non-profit, convened one of the first ever discussions about mental health and wellbeing in journalism on Sep. 30, 2022. Reporters face a barrage of challenging subjects day in and day out, including some that hit at the very core of their own identity. Despite these enormous challenges, it can feel as if the public expects reporters to tell the story regardless of the impact it will have on their own mental health. Journalists in the newsroom are joining a wider movement of employees in workplaces across the country who are demanding their leaders pay greater attention to their mental health and offer better solutions for support.
