The Role of Media in Containing the COVID-19 and Saving Lives [en]

March 20, 2020

The role of media is of central importance in the fight against COVID-19. In this, Journalists have an important role to play in finding information gaps and to counter rumors and misinformation about the disease.

Internews, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, the World Health Organization and BBC Media Action held a webinar to advise journalists on how to convey the live-saving behavior changes in hygiene, self-isolation and social distancing without spreading fear and stigmatization.

A total of 170 journalists from around the world attended the webinar.

You can watch a recording of the webinars: Session 1 and Session 2.
