Usually when Canadaland does a story on reporters in conflict we\u2019re talking to a reporter who has had boots on the ground, someone who\u2019s dodged bullets in hot zones and has the scars and the PTSD to prove it. But not this time. This time we\u2019re speaking with Anthony Feinstein a professor of Psychiatry at the University of Toronto. He specializes in the psychological distress of journalists. He treats journalists as patients, and he does research into the kind of psychological trauma that commonly afflicts them. In fact, he created the field of study focused on psychological trauma in journalists - it simply did not exist before him. 

Host: Jesse Brown 

Guest: Anthony Feinstein, Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Toronto.
