Women Journalists Covering COVID-19 by CFWIJ

Struggling To Navigate Through Ever-changing Information & Policies On Covid-19?

This page was created on March 26, 2021.

 

It’s been nearly two years since Covid-19 changed the world as we know it. A lot has happened since it first hit, however, with societies adapting and evolving to overcome the health (and subsequent economic) crisis. Even as we appear to recover from Covid-19, the virus continues wreak havoc across the globe with new variants springing up in different countries. Over the past 20 months, women journalists have risked their lives reporting on the pandemic from different parts of the world. The Coalition For Women In Journalism has compiled a list of select women journalists whom you can follow to stay informed on the pandemic. None of us can be rid of the pandemic till all of us are and keeping this in mind, we have also put together a map so you can easily navigate through the Covid-19 situation in different countries. 

If you are a woman journalist covering Covid-19 from the front lines please do reach out to us at <press@womeninjournalism.org>
