This was the first of many stories about covering #COVID19 we published this year. In fact, we assembled a whole host of resources to support reporters - from veteran science journalists to general assignment reporters - in their work theopennotebook.com/covering-covidā€¦

Thread: Iā€™m a huge advocate for representation in the media, and the telling of usually marginalised or ā€˜otheredā€™ stories but often this is so badly done it does more damage than good. So hereā€™s some food for thought...
How to tell an inclusive story; some things to consider...
1. What is the purpose of telling this story? Why do you want this story to be heard?
2. Is the subjectā€™s voice at the centre of the piece? Are you speaking for them? Are u imposing your own world view on their experience? What assumptions are u making?(even in the Qā€™s you ask)
3. Can the story be told through them? Can you amplify their voice?
4. Are you recreating harmful narrative tropes (even if your intentions are good)? E.g. ā€˜the good newsā€™ story, white saviour tropes etc
