Episode notes

In this special episode, supported by the Department of Journalism at City, University of London, Mark speaks to three UK-based health and science reporters about the highs and lows of covering the Covid-19 pandemic: Sarah Boseley, The Guardian’s Health Editor; Victoria Macdonald, Health and Social Care Editor at Channel 4 News and Sean Lintern, the Independent’s Health Correspondent. What’s it been like being on the front line of the story of the century? And looking back, what do they wish they had known earlier or done differently?
