A year ago, I wrote a feature called “COVID-19 is now a pandemic: What next?” We all know what followed. But how journalists adapted to the pace of the pandemic may be a lesser known thing.
To mark the anniversary of the World Health Organisation (WHO) declaring COVID-19 as a pandemic, I spoke with four journalists.
In our conversation, we addressed the challenges of keeping pace with the fast emerging science of SARS-CoV-2. We also discussed how the past year has blurred the boundaries between our professional and personal lives and reflected on what the pandemic may mean for health journalism in the long run.
