Creating Calm: How TMU Journalists Are Balancing Work and Wellness

Journalism can be an intense, often high-stakes field, but what happens when student journalists put their notebooks/cameras down? There are plenty of TMU journalism students who turn to creative hobbies—drawing, knitting, crocheting, baking, or in my case crafting/sculpting—as a way to unwind, stimulate their minds, and further fuel their creativity. With rising concerns over prolonged stress, burnout, and mental health struggles within the journalism industry, this short documentary offers a look at how a new generation of journalists are balancing work and well-being.
