Comments
The Problem of Pain: How Journalism Turns to Altruism to Manage Suffering builds on theory and scholarship to explore how altruism helps journalists manage the emotional demands of their profession. By emphasizing its reciprocal nature, the authors argue that altruistic engagement not only lessens suffering for the communities that journalists serve but also provides a vital source of resilience and meaning for journalists themselves.
