1 minute read


It's been another interesting week full of COVID-19 stories, we catch up with Bianca Nogrady, our live blogger, to find out what's been happening


We’ve had a few interesting COVID-19 stories crop up last week – and we’ve got Bianca Nogrady, our live blogger, here to tell us all about it.

In this episode, we share the highlights from our Health Journalism Masterclass, which TMR webinars hosted earlier this week (watch the full recording here.)

On Wednesday evening, ABC journalists Sophie Scott and Dr Norman Swan, and Melissa Davey from The Guardian shared some of their experiences as health reporters during COVID-19.

We got some really great feedback about this webinar –it got to the heart of some of the issues we’ve been having as a society around bad research getting published, experts not really having all the answers for this very new disease and treatments being peddled without any evidence.

In other COVID-19 news, the epic cluster-SNAFU of the hydroxychloroquine data scandal continues to unfold, the food industry is getting a talking to as obesity is linked to COVID-19 mortality and new resources are available for GPs (including a form that creates a COVID-19 medical clearance letter…)
