Listen "Covering the coronavirus and the unknown"
Episode Synopsis
Journalism is the search for truth, but what does a reporter do when a fast-breaking news story is filled with so many unknowns? As the coronovirus situation unfolds in the Portland area and around Oregon, The Oregonian's Fedor Zarkhin is working the phones and trying to get the best information possible. On this episode, Zarkhin talked about the challenges of covering a fast-moving story with so many unanswered questions, how this public health scare compares to other crises he's covered and what one family quarantined in Japan said about their surreal experience. We also talked about his previous investigative work on health issues and how that guides his reporting on this story. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
