The Trauma Beat A Case for Re-Thinking the Business of Bad News [electronic resource] : by Cherry, Tamara.aut; cloudLibrary;
A groundbreaking and thorough examination of the trauma caused by the media covering crimes, both to victims and journalists, from a respected journalist and victim advocate In The Trauma Beat, an eye-opening combination of investigative journalism and memoir, former big-city crime reporter Tamara Cherry calls on her award-winning skills as a journalist to examine the impact of the media on trauma survivors and the impact of trauma on members of the media. As Tamara documents the experiences of those who were forced to suffer on the public stage, she is confronted by everything she got wrong on the crime beat. Covering murders and traffic fatalities to sexual violence and mass violence, Cherry exposes a system set up to fail trauma survivors and journalists. Why do some families endure a swell of unwanted attention after the murder of a loved one, while others suffer from a lack of attention? What is it like to have a microphone shoved in your face seconds after escaping the latest mass shooting? What is the lasting impact on the reporter holding that microphone? The Trauma Beat explores these issues with the raw, reflective detail of a journalist moving from ignorance to understanding and shame to healing.General adult.

Well at work : creating wellbeing in any workspace / by Sternberg, Esther M.,author.;
"Until recently, few of us thought much about the effects our physical workspace might have on our minds and bodies. COVID-19 changed all that. Suddenly, the office became a danger zone where crowded rooms, contaminated surfaces, and poor ventilation systems increased our risk of infection. Yet it wasn't until we returned to the office after a prolonged period of working from home that most of us became acutely aware of how the environment around us was adversely affecting our energy levels and mood, our ability to focus, and even our physical health. The good news, says integrative health and mind body science design pioneer Dr. Esther Sternberg, is healthy workplaces need not be a luxury. Through groundbreaking research and a trove of insightful stories, Well at Work reveals how the physical environment can either impair or improve our wellbeing across seven domains of integrative health -- stress, sleep, movement, relationships, nutrition, spirituality, and the air we breathe. Whether we work in a typical office building, a co working space, or in our spare bedroom turned home office, Dr. Sternberg shows how we can all design or adapt our workspace to enhance our comfort, productivity, health, and happiness, and to help us be -- and stay -- well at work"--

Unmasking AI : my mission to protect what is human in a world of machines / by Buolamwini, Joy,author.;
Includes bibliographical references."Dr. Joy Buolamwini is the self-described "Poet of Code" who has had a lifelong passion for computer science, engineering, and art -- disciplines that, she felt, pushed the boundaries of reality. After tinkering with robotics as a high school student in Tennessee, to developing mobile apps in Zambia as a Fulbright fellow, Buolamwini eventually found herself at MIT. As a graduate student at the "Future Factory," Buolamwini's groundbreaking research revealed that AI systems -- from leading tech companies -- were consistently failing on non-male, non-white bodies. In Unmasking AI, Buolamwini goes beyond the news headlines about racism, colorism, and sexism in Big Tech to tell the remarkable story of how she uncovered what she calls "the coded gaze" -- evidence of racial and gender bias in tech -- and galvanized the movement to prevent AI harms by founding the Algorithmic Justice League. Applying an intersectional lens to both tech industry and research sector, Buolamwini shows how race, gender, and ability bias can overlap and render broad swaths of humanity vulnerable in our AI-dependent world. Computers, she reminds us, are reflections of both the aspirations and the limitations of the people who create them"--

Separated. by Morris, Errol,film director.; NBC News Studios Film (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;
Originally produced by NBC News Studios Film in 2024.Academy Award®-winning filmmaker Errol Morris confronts one of the darkest chapters in recent American history: family separations. Based on NBC News Political and National Correspondent Jacob Soboroff's book, Separated: Inside an American Tragedy, Morris merges bombshell interviews with government officials and artful narrative vignettes tracing one migrant family's plight. Together they show that the cruelty at the heart of this policy was its very purpose. Against this backdrop, audiences can begin to absorb the U.S. government's role in developing and implementing policies that have kept over 1300 children without confirmed reunifications years later, according to the Department of Homeland Security.Mode of access: World Wide Web.

Mercies in disguise : a story of hope, a family's genetic destiny, and the science that rescued them / by Kolata, Gina Bari,1948-author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."The phone rings. The doctor from California is on the line. "Are you ready Amanda?" The two people Amanda Baxley loves the most had begged her not to be tested-at least, not now. But she had to find out. If your family carried a mutated gene that foretold a brutal illness and you were offered the chance to find out if you'd inherited it, would you do it? Would you walk toward the problem, bravely accepting whatever answer came your way? Or would you avoid the potential bad news as long as possible? In Mercies in Disguise, acclaimed New York Times science reporter and bestselling author Gina Kolata tells the story of the Baxleys, an almost archetypal family in a small town in South Carolina. A proud and determined clan, many of them doctors, they are struck one by one with an inscrutable illness. They finally discover the cause of the disease after a remarkable sequence of events that many saw as providential. Meanwhile, science, progressing for a half a century along a parallel track, had handed the Baxleys a resolution-not a cure, but a blood test that would reveal who had the gene for the disease and who did not. And science would offer another dilemma-fertility specialists had created a way to spare the children through an expensive process. A work of narrative nonfiction in the tradition of the The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, Mercies in Disguise is the story of a family that took matters into its own hands when the medical world abandoned them. It's a story of a family that had to deal with unspeakable tragedy and yet did not allow it to tear them apart. And it is the story of a young woman-Amanda Baxley-who faced the future head on, determined to find a way to disrupt her family's destiny."--

Best of Enemies: Buckley vs. Vidal. by Neville, Morgan,film director.; Gordon, Robert,film director.; Vidal, Gore,actor.; F. Buckley, William,actor.; Magnolia Pictures (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;
Gore Vidal, William F. BuckleyOriginally produced by Magnolia Pictures in 2015.In the summer of 1968 television news changed forever. Dead last in the ratings, ABC hired two towering public intellectuals to debate each other during the Democratic and Republican national conventions. William F. Buckley Jr. was a leading light of the new conservative movement. A Democrat and cousin to Jackie Onassis, Gore Vidal was a leftist novelist and polemicist. Armed with deep-seated distrust and enmity, Vidal and Buckley believed each other’s political ideologies were dangerous for America. Like rounds in a heavyweight battle, they pummeled out policy and personal insult-their explosive exchanges devolving into vitriolic name-calling. Live and unscripted, they kept viewers riveted. Ratings for ABC News skyrocketed, and a new era in public discourse was born.  Nominated for the Grand Jury Prize for Best Documentary at the **Sundance Film Festival**. Winner of Outstanding Historical Documentary at the **News & Documentary Emmy Awards**. *"THE BEST OF ENEMIES provides a rich, extraordinarily fascinating account that's sure to have many viewers' minds constantly shuttling between then and now ..." - Godfrey Cheshire, **RogerEbert.com***Mode of access: World Wide Web.
