Reporting the war on coronavirus
The challenge for journalists of reaching the frontline.
If we are "at war" with coronavirus, where do journalists find the frontline? Or are more distanced, factual pieces better at keeping people informed? Also in the programme, as Joe Biden becomes US President, what does that mean for free speech, combative news stations and the tech platforms?
Guests: Laura Donnelly, Health Editor at The Telegraph; Sarah Boseley, Health Editor at The Guardian; Clive Myrie, BBC presenter and foreign correspondent; Glenn Greenwald, author and journalist.
Studio engineer: Tim Heffer
Producer: Hannah Sander
Presenter: Amol Rajan
