Hi reporters, I hope you’re staying safe and calm in this crisis.
As always, I want to provide something that can help you get stuff done while not taking up a lot of time or energy. Have you heard of the COVID-19 SoJo Exchange?
It’s like a give-a-penny, take-a-penny of coronavirus stories. And not just any story, but the kind that has been proven to help readers avoid news fatigue and restore faith in the press.
Go ahead and contribute a story if you have one, or republish one for free, thanks to the Solutions Journalism Network.
Also, later this week I’m doing a webinar with IRE and SPJ on fact-checking coronavirus stories. The panel includes Poynter’s Cristina Tardaguila and famous misinfo destroyer Claire Wardle of First Draft News. You can register on IRE’s website here.
Stay safe and wear a mask!
