Reviews'[This book] will be a valuable resource for wellbeing and will help with understanding of the causes and long-lasting negative affects of the presentation of these momentary experiences on emotional, mental, and often physical being ... This is a deep and important commentary on the effects of graphic visual representations ... Recommended.' C. Chiarenza, CHOICE, 'We live in a world where too few people have stopped to think of the shattering impact of the way cell phones, video and audio technology, and the internet bring horrendous violence, often instantly, to our offices, our homes, our safest spaces. It is splendid to have this thoughtful, compassionate analysis of this situation, replete with practical suggestions, from two of our finest human rights workers.' Adam Hochschild, author of American Midnight: The Great War, a Violent Peace, and Democracy's Forgotten Crisis

SynopsisToday, almost anyone can upload and disseminate newsworthy content online, which has radically transformed our information ecosystem. Yet this often leaves us exposed to content produced without ethical or professional guidelines. In Graphic, Alexa Koenig and Andrea Lampros examine this dynamic and share best practices for safely navigating our digital world. Drawing on the latest social science research, original interviews, and their experiences running the world's first university-based digital investigations lab, Koenig and Lampros provide practical tips for maximizing the benefits and minimizing the harms of being online. In the wake of the global pandemic, they ask: How are people processing graphic news as they spend more time online? What practices can newsrooms, social media companies, and social justice organizations put in place to protect their employees from vicarious trauma and other harms? Timely and urgent, Graphic helps us navigate the unprecedented psychological implications of the digital age., What does research tell us about how to grapple with the onslaught of graphic and distressing imagery that floods our newsfeeds daily? This book is designed for professionals and everyday people, legislators and social media policymakers who are making sense of trauma and meaning in our online lives.
