Lessons from Covid-19 – Journalism in a Post-Pandemic Future

As part of Legitimult, International IDEA is organizing a half-day workshop “Lessons from Covid-19 – Journalism in a Post-Pandemic Future,” taking place on 10 April at International IDEA HQ, Stockholm. 

Facilitated by Navdip Dhariwal, former BBC International Correspondent, this interactive workshop will focus on key lessons and challenges from the pandemic and explore strategies for ethical, effective, and impactful reporting during crises. As journalism continues to evolve in the wake of Covid-19, the need for transparency, trust, and responsible crisis reporting has never been greater. How can journalists navigate misinformation, urgency vs. accuracy, and ensure government accountability in times of crisis? This timely workshop will explore these challenges and discuss how journalists can be better prepared for future crises.
