CITY OF SCIENCE TRUTH AND LIES - COVERING COVID-19
FEB 24, 2021 | 7:30 PM

In this era of polarization and soundbites, how do journalists cover a crucial and complex topic like COVID-19?

Besides the challenge of translating life-and-death medical and technical information quickly to a broad audience, they must also guard against misinformation, lies, and the politicization of science. How can journalists dig through the many layers to bring lifesaving facts to the public? 

​Emily Laber-Warren, director of the Health and Science Reporting Program at the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism, CUNY, moderates a panel featuring: Lauren Friedman, a top health and food editor at Consumer Reports and adjunct professor at Newmark J-School; Roxanne Khamsi, a science journalist and WIRED contributor who has taught at Newmark J-School; and Apoorva Mandavilli, a health and science reporter at The New York Times.
