Abstract

BELAIR-GAGNON, Valérie  and  HOLTON, Avery E.. A commentary: Who’s looking out for journalists?. Media & Jornalismo [online]. 2022, vol.22, n.41, pp.75-81.  Epub Dec 31, 2022. ISSN 1645-5681.  https://doi.org/10.14195/2183-5462_41_4.

Most people spend a large part of their lives working. It is, perhaps, inevitable that workplace environments help to shape people’s well-being and happiness. As we reflect on the past 20 years of Media & Jornalismo research we must also look forward to the future of journalism and consider how research can contribute to that future. We also should consider a possible paradigmatic shift in journalism studies and practice that de-focuses journalism and considers the humanity of journalism workers, seeing them less as commodities or commodifiable and more as complex individuals calling for and deserving of personal and professional well-being.

Keywords : Media and journalism studies; journalism practice; mental-health and well-being; humanity of journalism workers.
