News organizations around the world are partnering in highly sophisticated ways to cover COVID-19; here's a look at some of them.
We wrote about collaborative efforts around the U.S. a couple weeks ago, as the new coronavirus had begun to ravage parts of the country.
But viruses know no borders, and as this coronavirus has intensified its spread around the world we want to also highlight some impressive and sophisticated global collaborative journalism efforts.
Collaborative journalism has become common and highly impactful especially in Scandinavia and Latin America, and increasingly so across parts of Africa and Asia. This is thanks in part to organizations such as the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, the International Center for Journalists and the International Fact Checking Network, among others, whose existing infrastructure had lent itself well to supporting partnered-work.
In surveying the current global landscape for COVID-19 collaborative efforts, a few things stand out. While there are co-publishing efforts and educational initiatives, many projects are focused on disseminating facts, fact-checking, accuracy, and verification.
Take a look at examples of collaboration efforts from Ghana, Finland, Brazil and Latin America, as well as others than span the globe.
