Chan, Angelina"A Pilot Study of the Impact of the Asian Tsunami on a Group of Asian Media Workers"The Asian Tsunami that struck on December 26, 2004, claimed tens of thousands of lives. To bring up-to-date news to the public, many media workers raced to the frontline. Singapore journalists were among the first to arrive at the devastated scenes of the affected countries. Critical Incident Stress Debriefing (CISD) was offered to these media personnel about a week after they returned from assignment. Twelve of the media workers participated in the CISD and also completed the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28), The Impact of Events Scale (IES), and a feedback questionnaire on what was helpful to them during the debriefing. Twenty-five percent of the respondents displayed psychiatric symptoms (GHQ-28 score ≥ 5) with highest scorings being in the somatic domain. One third had IES > 30 with higher scores on the avoidance scale. Seventy-five percent of the participants indicated moderate (8.6 - 19) to high (> 19.0) total scores on the IES. All the participants reported that CISD was valuable. This pilot study provides support for the need to address the emotional aftermath of impacted media workers in the wake of disasters.

Loo, Eric"Filipino Journalists Speak Out and Pay the Price"The article presents information about journalists in Philippines. Top-notch journalists receive money ranging from P100,000 to P300,000 from errant politicians. On May 12, 2005 Philip Agustin, Publisher-editor of local community newspaper, "Starline Times Recorder," was shot dead by two assailants on a motorbike in the village of Paltic, about 70 miles northeast of Manila, Philippines. The "Inquirer News Service," web site reported that two weeks before the murder, Agustin had published stories implicating a local mayor of embezzling disaster funds that were allocated for resettling 1,000 families displaced by landslides in the November 2004 landslides. Indeed, 2004 was the `year of infamy' with 13 journalists killed, three in August alone. Reporters receive discreet and regular pay-offs through automated-teller machine accounts, which could be in the names of relatives or spouses. The stemming of deluge of the corruption in Philippine journalism into the pool of participants vulnerable to a get-rich-quick deal would require attacking the root causes within the public and commercial sectors.

Dandeker, Christopher"Occupational Stress and Job Satisfaction in Media Personnel Assigned to the Iraq War"This paper investigates occupational stressors amongst media personnel assigned to work on covering the Iraq War via interviews with 54 journalists from the BBC and Reuters, who worked in Iraq between February and April 2003. A range of stressors were identified that could be categorized into three main themes, control over the situation, support from management and grief from the death of colleagues. Journalists not embedded with military units were more likely to report negative physical and emotional health outcomes. The study concludes that hazardous work environments do not, by themselves, cause stress and poor job satisfaction. Rather, organizational factors, the imbalance between the ability to make decisions about how to carry out their job effectively and the perceived rewards of working in such environments appear to have a greater impact on work related stress.
