The Dart Center for Journalists and Trauma, housed at the University of Washington's School of Communications in Seattle, WA, has a website and blog about trauma resources for journalists who have worked in war zones. As you may already be aware, the war in Iraq has been a deadly assignment for many journalists already. The link to the Dart Center's blog is here.
Another good place to read about effect of the current war on reporters worldwide (with a more international focus than that Dart's information), is the organization, Reporters without Borders, whose website is here. They have a grisly graphic on their site of a long-lensed camera covered in blood, with the count accelerating of how many reporters have died or injured in the Iraq war so far -- 82 to date. I realize this doesn't compare with the incredible sacrifices of the military, but journalists generally don't expect themselves to be targets in wartime, and in this war, they've been exposed to many of the same dangers and trauma as the military themselves.
For an example of how reporters following the story get caught up in the relationship with the people they've covering, even when the subjects are the military, take a look at photographer Rob Curtis' site. He's been following a number of new Marine officers into combat for his recently-released documentary, "Class 186: The Making of a Marine Officer" (no connection with the similarly-named book by Nathaniel Fick). One of the young officers whose career he profiled in that documentary, 2nd Lt. Almar Fitzgerald, was recently killed in Ramadi, Iraq, just a few weeks before his combat tour was up, and you can read Curtis' heartfelt, touching tribute to Fitzgerald on his blog, which also includes a video tribute to Fitzgerald.
