Brian Stelter highlights column about how we don't talk enough about the trauma journalists endure

We regret to inform you that the journalists are at it again. It was back in 2016 when MSNBC columnist Michael Cohen expressed his desire that just once, during the seventh-inning stretch, they’d honor journalists and not the military. A year later, MSNBC’s Katy Tur compared journalists to firefighters racing toward the flames — an analogy picked up by the head of the Pulitzer Prize committee in 2020.

On the six-month anniversary of the Capitol riots, VICE did a story on the trauma experienced by journalists who were there; one reporter said he “used to call the Capitol my girlfriend,” but now he doesn’t want to be there. Other journalists were in therapy.
