Thanks Alex. Yes I'm sure Ann had good intentions and I'm equally sure she is aware that it was not well received. There might not be a need for every academic on the list to express their negative feelings about Anne's email. I'm quite sure she has got the message by now.

Hi,

in agreement with the responses (that our thoughts must be with the victims and their families and the wider community) but also in support of Ann's sharing of materials, if NZ and Australian academics are walking into classes with journalism students on Monday or next week, as undoubtedly they will be, and are asking for help in preparing their students to be as kind, sensitive and useful as they can be in their reporting of this horrific terror attack and loss of life, if I were them, I'd certainly want to have the best resources available to do that teaching with.

Tone is always lost in digital communications and I can see how reading of this as a 'teachable moment' didn't come across well at all; but knowing Ann and her work I would suggest the offer was made with appropriate intentions.

This discussion is addressing a more general issue: namely the imposed necessity to demonstrate the IMPACT of our work, a hostile environment that assumes that academic writing is normally irrelevant.

Thank you, Heather. You have voiced the concerns and sentiments of so many on this list.

Our thoughts should be with those who suffered this atrocity, not to consider its teachability.

Very best wishes to all

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,

For those of you who may be using the horrible mass shooting in Christchurch, New Zealand as a teachable moment, please consider using the chapter on ‘Reporting Mass Shootings’ by Glynn Greensmith in our recently published collection, Ethical Reporting of Sensitive Topics, published by Routledge and edited by Dr. Ann Luce of Bournemouth University. There are a wide variety of topics covered in this volume, which include reporting on suicide, natural disasters, sexual abuse, climate change, gang violence, and different cultures.

All chapters are written by journalists-turned-academics and provide case studies of best and worst practice covering these topics.

Ann
