Capturing what life was like in Britain and in other countries hit
by the virus, the book tells the story of how television news was
kept on air when so many workplaces were abandoned and how
reporters and crews covered the news while 'social distancing' - a
term few had heard at the start of the year. In Reporting
Coronavirus, ITV News' correspondents, presenters and producers
write about their personal experiences covering the pandemic. They
report what they saw, how they felt and discuss the impact of their
journalism. The book takes us - through first hand reporting - from
the epicentre in Wuhan in China to the corridors of power in
Westminster and Washington. We hear from correspondents who spent
time observing on the frontline inside Britain's intensive care
units and care homes and what they found when they put questions on
apparent failings direct to political leaders. The book covers the
global story but also the very local story across the UK. It
includes the reflections of the first television journalist to meet
the now legendary NHS charity fundraiser, Captain Tom, and an
account of how police in Liverpool, a city badly affected by the
virus, dealt with the challenges of lockdown. There are stories of
how Covid-19 affected every corner of the country, sometimes in
profound ways. Together, the essays reflect a rich range of diverse
experiences and perspectives from across ITV News. Reporting
Coronavirus is a collection of essays by ITV News journalists. They
all work for Britain's biggest commercial public service
broadcaster. Their work across the first six months of 2020 reached
50 million viewers -- more than 80 percent of the UK's population.
