COVID-19: The Biggest Story of Our Time | The Media Rumble 2021

2021-11-10 1

Newslaundry and Teamwork Arts present TMR@Online, the fourth and wholly digital edition of #TheMediaRumble.

This session is moderated by Dhanya Rajendran, Co-founder and Editor-in-chief of the News Minute. She’s joined by Barkha Dutt, Founder and Editor of Mojo; Banjot Kaur, health writer at Down To Earth; Vivek Kaul, journalist and writer; and Aditi Priya, Research Associate at Krea University’s LEAD.

The panel discusses how #Covid has become the biggest story in the world for an entire generation, and the impact of the #pandemic on global health, economics and sociopolitics. Has Covid changed the way countries look at healthcare from a policy and “newsworthiness” perspective? How has India’s healthcare industry responded to the pandemic? What does it mean for India’s economic policy? How disproportionately have marginalised communities borne the brunt of the pandemic, and has the migrant crisis forever dented the “big city” dream?
