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.
We talk to journalist, editor and former Google News Initiative Teaching fellow Saffron Howden about the toll on Australian regional publications and how closures and cutbacks are coming at the time communities need their local news information more than ever.
And the way the people of South Korea got on board with testing, tracking and tracing of COVID-19 infections – is the loss of privacy justified for the public health good?
Jinhee Kim, a South Korean public health researcher living in Australia, takes us behind the statistics.
