About this Quote

Linda Vester's quote speaks to the trouble of being a reporter. It is easy to end up being desensitized to the stories they cover, as they typically involve difficult and troubling subjects. This desensitization is a survival mechanism, as it enables them to continue to do their job without ending up being overwhelmed by the stories they cover. It is a needed coping mechanism, however it can also lead to an absence of compassion and understanding for the people and scenarios they are covering. It is very important for journalists to stay familiar with this and to make every effort to preserve a sense of compassion and understanding in their work.
