✨ In a landmark event merging media and technology, the AI Everything Middle East & Africa Summit in Egypt hosted the signing of “Economic Journalism Trauma” by journalist Wael El-Toukhy, released during the 57th Cairo International Book Fair 2026.
💡 The book is the first specialized reference highlighting the deep psychological effects faced by economic journalists covering daily negative news, including inflation, rising prices, and market fluctuations.
📊 El-Toukhy’s research spans a year and a half and includes 347 journalists, 251 of them specialized in economic journalism, providing a detailed scientific analysis linking digitalization with journalists’ mental health.
🧠 The book addresses the impact of social media on economic journalists, including feelings of despair and burnout, while proposing the use of AI technology to enhance psychological support in newsrooms and manage ongoing mental stress.
📚 It also explores digital analytics and big data tools to improve economic journalism performance, continuous professional development, and the effects of occupational burnout on editors confronting constant economic crises affecting citizens’ lives.
🎯 The concept of economic journalism trauma is presented as a unique form of occupational trauma, sometimes more severe than covering wars or disasters, due to the ongoing nature of economic crises and continuous psychological pressure.
💬 El-Toukhy emphasizes that economic journalists do more than report numbers—they interact with the human impact of economic events, making their professional experience a blend of analytical reporting and daily psychological challenges.
