Description

<p>　More and more interviews are conducted through video conferences as an</p><p>alternative to the ever falling number of press conferences in order to prevent</p><p>the further spread of COVID-19. This paper mainly discusses interviews conducted</p><p>with journalism practitioners to analyze how their communication were</p><p>affected by the pandemic in three aspects—namely, their communication with</p><p>interviewees, fellow journalists, and readers or the audience. The findings are</p><p>summarized as follows. First, reporters are hindered from conducting interviews</p><p>in person and depending on materials provided from interviewees</p><p>instead. Second, unable to help each other at press conferences or in person,</p><p>reporters are taken control of by interviewees. Third, scant coverage of</p><p>infected people and bereaved families was noted, along with coverage that triggers</p><p>on-line witch hunts targeting the infected, as well as a tendency among</p><p>officials and medical experts disclosure and coverage based on effectiveness in</p><p>curbing the pandemic, rather than the role of independent journalism.</p>
