Since the Vietnam War, moral injury has been recognised as a form of psychopathology with symptoms substantially similar to post-traumatic stress disorder. Yet unlike post-traumatic stress disorder, the causes of moral injury are essentially moral rather than fear-based: rooted in taking—or failing to take—actions that an individual believes to be fundamentally morally important. This chapter argues that forms of journalism with an especially strong moral orientation, such as investigative and conflict reporting, are likely to be especially predisposed to the kinds of perceived moral failures that might cause moral injury. Moreover, trying to understand the connection between certain forms of journalism and moral injury directs us to see journalism as an unavoidably moral practice in which journalists find themselves taking on obligations to sources, audiences, and the subjects of their stories in ways that may be hard to fulfil.
