This Box of Broadcasts playlist shows examples of broadcast journalism produced remotely, to be used as a teaching resource. How can journalists work safely and tell stories from a distance, without compromising the facts? During COVID-19 pandemic journalists all over the world worked from home, or worked at a distance from their subjects and contributors. But this isn't new. Journalists telling stories about dangerous and inaccessible locations have long been using techniques which allow them to gather information and images from 'inside'. Examples include journalism while movement is restricted during a range of health crises, and reporting from danger zones, war zones, or other hostile locations such as the scene of a natural disaster, or even the inside of prisons or corrupt organisations. It often means working alongside citizen journalism, and storytelling with user generated content. Some examples are entirely made up of content gathered from the studio, while others include elements of socially-distanced filming during COVID-19. Not all the stories are what they seem. This playlist is part of a series, initially designed for teaching on a Sociology-based Masters in Media, Communications and International Journalism, but with potential to be used in other fields where remote teamwork, project work and communication skills are key.
