COVID-19 is everywhere in the media, but how do journalists decide how to cover it and can all media sources be trusted to report the facts? Having covered pandemics and emerging diseases for over 20 years, Maggie Fox, a Senior Editor at CNN, shares invaluable insights into how other potential pandemics such as swine flu, SARS, and bird flu were covered in the media, and how increasing political polarization in the US has impacted coverage of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Hosted by Frank Sesno, Healthy You: Surviving a Pandemic is a co-production of the George Washington University Milken Institute School of Public Health and the School of Media and Public Affairs.
