What is it about?
Twenty-three journalists in eight countries provide insights on the emotional forces that shape their work and how they manage the effects of those emotions. Emotional labor and work pervade the production, editing, and post-production phases of journalistic work but not equally for all types of visual journalists. Women journalists, in particular, reported unique emotional investment and display practices, while a subset of male journalists reported unique emotional management ones. In addition, almost across the board, the visual journalists in this sample reported relying on more informal rather than formal strategies to manage the effects of their work-related emotions.
