If your work involves accounts of wartime violence, this article considers the conditions in which you listen, interpret, verify, or preserve what you hear. It contains no descriptions of violent scenes. A fictional reporting assignment raises questions about roles, consent, accuracy, and what happens to a recording afterwards. You do not need to disclose your experience or revisit the most distressing material. You can begin with interpreting, publication, or working conditions and skip the practical prompts. The article is not a legal protocol and does not turn an interview into treatment. It helps identify which actions are agreed, what remains unknown, and where a separate decision is needed. Professional involvement can have limits, while a speaker's choice to stop remains meaningful.
