The Dart Centre Asia Pacific In Ten vodcast is a series of ten-minute chats with journalists, camera operators and other news professionals from across the globe about self-care and reporting in the time of coronavirus. How are these journalists caring for themselves and their craft in the midst of this pandemic? What unique reporting challenges have emerged? And what’s stayed the same?
