Camille Edwards on Stress during the Pandemic

1. Camille Edwards on Stress during the Pandemic During this unprecedented time, it is so hard to stay positive. And as Camille Edwards knows it’s a daily struggle for everyone. Should I Even Watch the News? A former journalist, Edwards finds it very difficult to stay on top of current events, often because it is depressing to her. “If you would have told me that when I got out of media that I wouldn’t watch the news, I would have told you were crazy,” says Camille Edwards. “It’s true that I don’t watch the news like I used to. I find my friends are more up to date on what’s going on in the world more so than I am.” It is a very strange time, and being on top of developments with the pandemic is critical. But if taking in all that information makes you depressed, what are you supposed to do? “You can’t bury your head in the sand and act like things are ok, normal or like them used to be,” says Edwards. “But you also have to find balance in knowing what is going on and keeping yourself mentally safe.” Edwards is a 30-year veteran journalist who’s led huge newsrooms across the country.
