The Press and the Pandemic: Tips from Pulitzer Winner Laurie Garrett
THE PRESS AND THE PANDEMIC - An exclusive interactive workshop for journalists with veteran epidemic reporter Laurie Garrett LIVE Wednesday 1 April on Facebook, YouTube, Periscope, 12 to 2 p.m. US Eastern time (1600 - 1800 UTC)
Laurie Garrett is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist with more than three decades of pack-leading experience writing prescient and piercing stories on the global threat from emerging infectious disease, from HIV through Ebola to COVID-19 and beyond.
Here, Garrett breaks away briefly from her nonstop writing on a real-time catastrophe for a special conversation with fellow journalists (and some journalism schools) to offer tips on how to avoid consequential mistakes and shape coverage in new ways that can provide more impact. (The event is open to the public but questions from journalists and then journalism students will be taken first.)
