Covid-19 has halted, for now, how every news organisation around the world normally functions.
If you’re a young journalist, you may feel bewildered about how your world of work has been transformed. If you’re a newsroom leader you may already have put staff on furlough/leave of absence after initially directing them to work from home. Some of these journalists will have come to you with mental health problems or financial concerns.
I am issuing an appeal to journalists of all creeds, backgrounds, geographies and experience levels – working in newsrooms large or small or freelancing – to complete a quick, anonymous survey around stress and what news organisations could look like post-Covid-19.
