Unfortunately your second email barely acknowledges the catastrophic loss of innocent life, Anne. I imagine that many academic colleagues in New Zealand and beyond can’t bring themselves to think about teaching today, or anything else for that matter.

Subject: Re: Covering Mass Shootings

Hello colleagues,

I’m sorry if you feel that this was a gratuitous plug for a book—that was not my intention (had to cover my back somewhat with the publisher…)

Since my earlier message to the list,  I’ve spent much of the morning talking to colleagues in Australia and New Zealand who have actually asked me for the chapters on how to cover mass shootings and covering trauma as some start back teaching on Monday for their next semester and feel this is something they need to cover as it will be fresh in the minds of their students.

My email to the list-serv was actually prompted by a colleague in New Zealand who knew the book had recently come out, but didn’t have access to the chapters and felt that colleagues in Australia and New Zealand would benefit from such scholarly work, especially as their journalism students will be covering this horrible tragedy now.

There is a gap in our collective knowledge on how best to report on such topics. The existence of the DART Centre and what it has been distributing since the early hours of this morning is proof of that.

Apologies to those who have been offended by my earlier post.

All best wishes,

Ann

Having woken to news of the devastating attacks in New Zealand, I would like to think that rather than a teachable moment, and an opportunity for self promotion, that we as a community are able to put our academic ambitions aside and remember the people who have lost their lives and the loved ones they leave behind.

I would like to think that the list is also a space where we can send our thoughts and sympathies to our friends and colleagues at this terrible point in time.

Kind regards
Heather

Hello Colleagues,
