At Speakers Collective, we believe meaningful conversations can change the world.
One of the ways our members are driving that change is through podcasts that sometimes explore complex social issues, always share lived experience and challenge stigma.
A brilliant example of this is a recent episode featuring James Scurry, Senior Producer at Sky News and Speakers Collective member.
James joins Bethany Lee onThe John Schofield Trust podcast series to unpack the importance of trauma-informed journalism. Alongside Matthew Green, international trauma specialist and Global Investigations Editor at DeSmog, they explore how a trauma-aware approach doesn’t just protect sources and audiences, it actively makes journalism stronger.
The conversation tackles why journalists must take their own mental health seriously, especially when covering conflict, crisis and human suffering. It’s an honest, practical discussion that goes beyond theory, offering actionable advice for both aspiring and experienced journalists on how to report ethically, responsibly in high-pressure environments.
