In an era where disasters have become an integral part of daily life, the role of well-trained journalists in reporting such events has gained critical importance. The ability of journalists to report disasters effectively and accurately not only ensures the dissemination of reliable information but also helps mitigate the negative impact of these events on societies.

Recognizing the need for specialized training in disaster journalism, the Disaster Journalism: Preventing the News from Turning into a Disaster Project (2023-2-TR01-KA220-HED-000176222) aims to bridge the gap in journalism education through a comprehensive curriculum dedicated to disaster reporting. Supported by the Turkish National Agency, this book has been developed as part of a European Union Erasmus KA220 Project in collaboration with Selçuk University, Turkish Presidency of Directory of Communication, the Radio and Television Supreme Council, Konya Metropolitan Municipality, University of Vigo, University of Primorska, Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv.

The Disaster Journalism Course Curriculum is designed to provide undergraduate students with practical knowledge and applicable skills to ensure accurate, ethical, and effective reporting during disasters. This curriculum has been published in Spanish, Turkish, Slovenian, English, and Ukrainian.
