From the outset, COVID-19 has been a fast-moving, relentless challenge for journalists across Canada and around the world. How do you report the news while working from home? Are there regional differences to this story? Vancouver’s Ian Hanomansing, weekend host of CBC News’s The National, reveals the challenges broadcast journalists face reporting in this social-distancing environment and shares his perspective on covering the pandemic from British Columbia where Canada’s first community-transmission cases appeared. Hanomansing will be in conversation with host Anna Maria Tremonti, host of the CBC podcast More.
