The REMOTE REPORTER is a series of videos of 25 minutes or less in which our faculty members share techniques and tips especially calibrated to help journalists and journalism students continue their work while they self-isolate and weather the COVID-19 pandemic.
In this episode, Jeff Jarvis explains how journalists can become adept at identifying and giving voice to credible experts. In addition to sharing his own curated Twitter list of COVID experts, he covers:
- Why it's important to fight misinformation in a time of pandemic
- How to judge the credentials and affiliations of epidemiologists
- How to ask the right questions to the right experts
- How to value diversity in medical experts
- How to avoid diluting your pool of experts with the wrong people
- Why you should avoid preprint studies and wishful thinking
- Remembering that scientists, like journalists, continue to learn
