Whether the topic is street crime, family violence, natural disaster, war or human rights, effective news reporting on traumatic events demands knowledge, skill and support. The Dart Center provides journalists around the world with the resources necessary to meet this challenge. In 2007, the Dart Center opened a German office (dartcenter.org/german). Since 2012, the Dart Center has been collaborating with the International Media Center Hamburg at the Chair in Journalism and Communication Studies at the University of Hamburg (www.imch.eu).
