The media industry was one of the most affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. Most employers either retrenched hundreds of their staff, or enforced pay cuts to cushion themselves from economic ruin.
Renowned TV anchors, top radio personalities either quit or were let go as stations fought tooth and nail to stay afloat during this difficult time. Some of the fired journalists opted to file suits in court seeking reprieve from the corridors of justice on grounds that they had been let go illegally.
