Reporting Covid-19

Available for over a year

As the pandemic continues to impact the world, BBC World Service's Nina Robinson, talks to journalists from two daily newspapers in India and the United States as we explore its impact on people in their regions. Working with experienced editors and reporters from the daily Mumbai Mirror and Kentucky’s Courier Journal, this documentary gets under the skin of two newsrooms during this time of great uncertainty as each country comes to terms with coronavirus, handling lockdowns, hospital admissions and the unequal impact the virus is having on the poor and on ethnic minorities. Nina taps into daily editorial meetings on Zoom and talks to staff on both papers, finding important news stories they are following closely, offering insight into how these newspapers are reporting Covid-19 in Louisville, Kentucky and Mumbai in India.
