CISM... necessary for reporters too

"Youre going to be dealing with the emotional damage of covering this tragedy for a long, long time. For now, dont let your personal hardships -- as powerful as they are -- affect your storytelling. Keep it in your mind, though, to get help later -- and as soon as possible. Im still dealing with personal fallout from the Murrah bombing, yet I knew not one person who died. Covering massive tragedies never leaves you." [again from Poynter Online]
