Pandemedia

Description

The Covid-19 pandemic ripped through the world with no regard for borders, age, status or wealth. It was brutal in its impact and created a raft of new social norms. Without warning, the pandemic changed journalism, in some ways irrevocably.

This arresting collection of essays from some of Australia’s top media minds examines how the pandemic altered the news. Some changes accelerated shifts already underway, such as the rise of user-generated content, the weaponising of disinformation, and the demand for data journalism. Other changes were unexpected, such as the emergence of the home-based expert and a story with a very, very long tail. Many reporters were forced to write, file and broadcast from home. Numbers took on a new importance. Every day, journalists had to find new ways to tell the same story, one they too were living through.

With contributors including Stan Grant, Michelle Grattan, David Speers, Alan Kohler, Lisa Millar, and Dr Norman Swan, Pandemedia takes readers behind the scenes of Australia’s media organisations to give a firsthand perspective on the new reign of the fourth estate.
