How Has COVID-19 Affected Journalism Work?

The novel coronavirus has defied geographical and political boundaries, infecting over 1.5 million people as of April 10.

Unlike disasters, a pandemic’s impact is not confined to a single location, or a group of victims, and the potential for exposure is always present, yet unpredictable.

The age of COVID-19 has brought a number of new norms — social distancing, working from home, school closures and virtual happy hours, to name a few.

Journalists are not exempt from these changes. While many things are slowing down, the ever-changing news cycle keeps them on the clock.

All these changes make reporting more complicated, and take a toll on journalists’ emotional and physical health.
