Episode 2: Journalism Jeopardy and Patient 31 – lessons from South Korea
COVID19 is fuelling a collapse in advertising revenue and placing traditional media companies, already under the strain of digital competitors, at further risk.

Jinhee Kim, a South Korean public health researcher living in Australia, takes us behind the statistics.
