"As a journalist, it is so easy to get hardened when you see so many stories that are disturbing. Sometimes it's just your survival mechanism that makes you hardened to some of it"
- Linda Vester
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.
