How do journalists cover a crucial and complex topic like COVID-19 in this era of polarization and soundbites?
“Besides the challenge of quickly translating life-and-death medical and technical information to a broad audience, how do they guard against misinformation, lies, and the politicization of science? How can they dig through the many layers to bring lifesaving facts to the public?
“Emily Laber-Warren, director of the Health and Science Reporting Program at the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism, CUNY, moderates a panel featuring: Lauren Friedman, a top health and food editor at Consumer Reports and adjunct professor at Newmark J-School; Roxanne Khamsi, a science journalist and WIRED contributor who has taught at Newmark J-School; and Apoorva Mandavilli, a health and science reporter at The New York Times.“

Nifty verbal collage!
This event was an amazing opportunity to hear from these remarkable journalist. The topics that were addressed were pertinent to this generational Covid 19 Pandemic. I was impressed with the sincerity and transparency displayed while sharing the challenges of presenting science in a changing pandemic that became rife with policy, politics, information and disinformation. I hope this same panel can be called together for a part 2 in future. If so please notify me, I would not want to miss it.
