The dynamic nature of reporting requires journalists to interrogate their emotions as well as their sense of professionalism. This article focuses on the complex relationship between emotionality and professionalism mediated by journalists who reported on cases of genocide. This extraordinary conflict situation provides a unique lens from which to explore the personal and professional resolve of journalists. Utilising interviews with UK journalists that reported on genocides in Rwanda and Srebrenica, this article develops a framework which characterises journalistic emotional labour as distinct, multi-faceted and somewhat contradictory. While participants described reporting as a focused, professional process in which emotions were silenced, the instinctual element and residual emotional toll associated with reporting on genocide demonstrates emotionality was not entirely absent. This article therefore provides a future template from which to explore emotional labour as part of a transformative relationship between journalists’ emotionality and professionalism.

Discussions about the student experience of higher education have become paramount in the wake of a (post)pandemic landscape. This article examines student geographies by focusing on the everyday travel practices that students engage in as they journey to the classroom. In doing so, it considers the potential effect these journeys may have on the student experience and consequently their wellbeing. This research employs a multidisciplinary approach utilising sociology, emotional geography and mobilities studies to conceptualise the journey to the classroom as one where emotions intersect with notions of space. To accomplish this, a project with 17 undergraduate students was conducted using focus groups and interviews along with the visual methods of autophotography (‘photo diaries’) and map drawing. This methodological approach meant journeys were explored in a more interpretive way as both a physical and emotional experience for the students to reflect on. Findings from this project acknowledge the nuance of emotional challenges faced by these students through three key themes that arose during these journeys: students’ concern about lateness, the emotional significance of their transitions through different spaces, and the reliance on emotion management mechanisms where negative emotional states were experienced. This article emphasises the importance of providing space for student expression, reflection and reflexivity to counter the emotional challenges they may face and which recognises the emotion work they engage in during this journey.

The current research takes a sociological approach to the study of journalism to explore the complex emotional work carried out by journalists as they report. Previous research has demonstrated various aspects of the distinct culture of journalism, including the embedded maintenance of certain ideals, such as objectivity and emotional detachment. However, detailed examination of the professional ideals of the journalists themselves reveals an area wrought with complexities and contradictions, where what is expected of journalists in their job role may be challenged by the actual emotional experiences they endure. The present research explores these complexities in order to understand how journalists might manage their emotions and how this management relates to the wider professional and organisational expectations placed upon them. To do this, it centres on journalists that reported during genocide because of the extremely emotive nature of this event. The present research therefore takes a qualitative, case study approach employing two case studies of genocide (Rwanda and Srebrenica) as a lens through which to understand the emotionality associated with reporting. Specifically, it combines interviews with journalists that reported during either genocide alongside a discourse analysis of UK news reporting of these events. Findings reveal the vital part that emotional labour played for journalists in managing their emotions both during and after their reporting. These journalists performed emotional labour in distinct, multi-faceted, and sometimes contradictory ways. In seeking to make greater sense of this emotional work, the current research elaborates a typology of the different kinds of emotional labour performed by journalists. By examining how journalists experienced the act of reporting amidst genocide specifically, it is possible to see how these complexities are amplified in extreme situations. However, this template also allows the potential for future research on the emotional experiences of journalists that may also report in other situations.

It is now well accepted that the gut microbiota contributes to our health. However, what determines the microbiota composition is still unclear. Whereas it might be expected that the intestinal niche would be dominant in shaping the microbiota, studies in vertebrates have repeatedly demonstrated dominant effects of external factors such as host diet and environmental microbial diversity. Hypothesizing that genetic variation may interfere with discerning contributions of host factors, we turned to Caenorhabditis elegans as a new model, offering the ability to work with genetically homogenous populations. Deep sequencing of 16S rDNA was used to characterize the (previously unknown) worm gut microbiota as assembled from diverse produce-enriched soil environments under laboratory conditions. Comparisons of worm microbiotas with those in their soil environment revealed that worm microbiotas resembled each other even when assembled from different microbial environments, and enabled defining a shared core gut microbiota. Community analyses indicated that species assortment in the worm gut was non-random and that assembly rules differed from those in their soil habitat, pointing at the importance of competitive interactions between gut-residing taxa. The data presented fills a gap in C. elegans biology. Furthermore, our results demonstrate a dominant contribution of the host niche in shaping the gut microbiota.

Firearms are the leading means of homicide for minority youth - and earlier anti-violence campaigns are needed to reach the growing numbers of young children who own and use weapons, a new report suggests. In a survey of 2,005 Latino 12-year olds, about 21 percent of students said that they carried a gun or a knife, and about 42 percent of these New York City students said they had a family member or close friend who had been shot. Eighty percent of those surveyed were Dominican. The war against violence should begin before or on entry to junior high school and should start by ensuring that schools are a safe haven for children, reported researchers, led by Roger D. Vaughan of the Center for Population and Family Health at the Columbia University School of Public Health in New York City.
