Studies about female journalists have tended to focus on their numbers, welfare, opportunities available to them, sexual harassment, safety and portrayal. However, few studies have focused on the trauma they experience after harassment and covering distressing stories. Using in-depth interviews with female journalists who have reported being harassed on social media and in physical spaces or covering distressing stories, this chapter documents and classifies the forms of trauma affecting (female) journalists, its (potential) influence on individual journalists and respective media organisations, and how media professionals respond to trauma. Findings show that journalists experience different forms of trauma, ranging from pain, fear, anxiety, depression, anger, excessive use of alcohol, and lack of concentration. This chapter contributes to our understanding of the forms of trauma Ugandan journalist’s encounter and its consequences on journalism practice in the country, and perhaps on the continent.
