Reuters Institute Journalist Fellows explore the lessons learned in lockdown

The Journalist Fellows from the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism opened the Institute’s Trinity term’s Global Journalism Seminars with a discussion on lessons learned from their research during the COVID-19 lockdown.

A unique group of Journalist Fellows from Kyrgyzstan, India, Hungary, Norway, Finland, Indonesia, Pakistan, Kenya, Egypt, Nicaragua and Brazil explored where journalism is, where it’s going, and where it could be around the world.

Chairing the seminar, Meera Selva, Director of the Fellowship Programme and Deputy Director of the Institute, said: “We have carried on the Fellowship here despite lockdown, speaking about the future of journalism and the challenges facing the news industry because it feels like it’s vital to have these conversations now more than ever.”
