The Role of Media in Volatile Times
summary
A newsroom builds a COVID data tracker that becomes one of its most trafficked projects, running five simultaneous live briefings and compiling state-by-state hospitalizations and deaths after governments fail to do so; about 30 bureaus and 200 journalists feed continuous Ukraine dispatches, with a satellite-image investigation and video forensics proving atrocities (an investigation cites eight executions) while 23 journalists die covering the war and U.S. coronavirus deaths pass one million.
