Abstract:

Pandemedia: How COVID Changed Journalism is a masterclass in a book. Edited by Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) journalists Tracey Kirkland and Gavin Fang, it features pandemic reflections from leading Australian journalists. Stan Grant, Michelle Grattan, Alan Kohler, Lisa Millar, David Speers and Norman Swan are among the 38 contributors. Such an expansive text is challenging to review without cataloguing its highlights, of which there are many. In Part 1, ‘More than the Headlines’, Kirkland, ABC’s national news gathering editor during the pandemic, documents how COVID rose rapidly up the news agenda but reporting was hampered by economic constraints and misinformation. Eminent political journalist Michelle Grattan discusses trust, responsibility and experts, while Andrew Lund critiques the state premiers’ daily press conferences. Safety, hygiene and distancing measures are detailed by Lisa Millar, as are the challenges of working from home, audience solidarity and the need to provide light relief. ...
