Coronavirus: Reporting Covid-19
We speak to journalists who have spent the past year reporting on the coronavirus pandemic.
During the last year hundreds of people across the globe have shared their experiences on the programme about living during a pandemic. This time, we view this challenging situation through a journalist鈥檚 lens.
Reporters from India, Brazil, the United States, Italy, South Africa, Rwanda and New Zealand share, with host Nuala McGovern, what it鈥檚 like to work on possibly the most important story of their careers.
They reveal the difficulties of obtaining accurate information, the influence of governments, and how they now deal with misinformation. They also talk about the challenges of telling a story that people often don鈥檛 want to hear, about personal abuse on social media inlucding death threats.
