Challenges Of Reporting During Pandemic

For the past three years, the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the entire world and has become an unprecedented news story. Every person, rich or poor, young or old, on earth was impacted in one way or another, be it by the virus, the travel bans, isolations, or lockdowns imposed by most governments. In such complex times for humanity, when people were unsure what the next week or months would be like as the COVID virus spread rapidly like fire, it was the sole duty of journalists and reporters to make people more aware of the then-newly emerging deadly virus.
