Episode Synopsis "Pandemics and Power Pt 3: COVID-19 and Media Coverage"

This episode is about the subjective language used by the West to describe the handling of the COVID-19 pandemic in the global south. We dive into how countries like Senegal and Rwanda are leading the charge in COVID-19 management and innovation, despite skeptical coverage by Western media that might have you believe otherwise. We listen to news coverage from throughout the pandemic to facilitate a larger discussion about how the media plays an outsized role in shaping public opinion.
