Reporting on Covid-19
Journalists across the globe face unprecedented challenges to report the coronavirus outbreak accurately and safely. To provide journalists with the help they need, we've teamed up with a range of specialist partners to produce a series of free online courses on Safety, Verification (in partnership with First Draft) and Content.
Our courses on covering the pandemic have been translated in other languages to benefit more journalists. See which languages here.
