Journalism in the Time of Crisis
Stories from the Journalism in the Time of Crisis international symposium hosted by Carleton University.
Note from the editor

Journalism In the Time of Crisis is a two-day symposium being hosted online Oct. 22–23 by Carleton University’s journalism school to explore the intersection between journalism and the COVID-19 pandemic. Over the course of two days, through six keynote speakers and no less than 17 panels involving dozens of experts from around the world, the symposium will explore the fascinating intersection of journalism and the COVID-19 crisis to assess both the short and long-term impacts. This major global conference will be convened on a purpose-built online platform — Socio — designed to maximize the ability of participants to interact. More than 500 people have already registered to participate in the symposium by joining Zoom webinars with the experts. In addition, a group of 14 Carleton journalism students comprise a multimedia news team that will cover the event from gavel to gavel, producing a podcast, managing its social media presence on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram and posting stories to this Medium.com site.
