The world is confronted with a major global pandemic, impacting all facets of society and the economy. This webinar will evaluate how the global pandemic is affecting the journalism industry. Across news and media outlets, workers are facing layoffs, positions are being reduced, and publications are folding. Beyond job security, threats and attacks on journalists in the face of the pandemic, such as verbal attacks and police harassment, have intensified and compromised the safety of journalists during COVID-19. To address these concerns, speakers from across the world will discuss the potential short- and long-term implications of COVID-19’s effect on journalism and the media. This event will include an overview of how the pandemic has shifted the journalism industry and what the future of journalism might entail. A Q&A portion will follow and give the audience an opportunity to engage.
