\"\"<\/p>\n

As Canadians grapple with the impacts of the coronavirus pandemic, dozens of graduates of the School of Journalism and Communication have been on the journalistic front line chronicling the social and economic upheaval caused by COVID-19.<\/p>\n

J-School alum Taylor Blewett (BJ \u201917)<\/strong> has been the face of the Ottawa Citizen<\/em>\u2019s coverage of the crisis, producing daily video summaries of the latest news developments while filling the pages of the printed Citizen<\/em>, its website and social streams with stories and updates.<\/p>\n

The Globe and Mail<\/em>\u2019s Kristy Kirkup (BJ \u201909)<\/strong>, Dakshana Bascaramurty (BJ \u201908)<\/strong> and Mark MacKinnon (BJ \u201990)<\/strong> are among those covering the pandemic on the national and international scenes for the country\u2019s leading national newspaper, while Ryan Tumilty (BJ \u201905)<\/strong> and Brian Platt (MJ \u201914)<\/strong> have been at the forefront of the National Post<\/em>\u2019s pandemic reporting.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

At iPolitics, deputy editor Charlie Pinkerton (BJ \u201917)<\/strong> and reporter Jolson Lim (BJ \u201917)<\/strong> are at the centre of the digital site\u2019s COVID coverage.<\/p>\n

CBC Parliamentary reporter Catherine Tunney<\/strong> (BJ \u201912) <\/strong>has been covering the story across multiple platforms for the national public network.<\/p>\n

Andrew Chang (BJ \u201904), <\/strong>co-host of The National<\/em>, and the CBC\u2019s chief political correspondent, Rosemary Barton (MJ \u201901), <\/strong>are among the country\u2019s most prominent journalists bringing daily news of the public health emergency to Canadians.<\/p>\n

Numerous CBC Radio journalists with J-School pedigrees \u2014 including Ottawa Morning<\/em> host Robyn Bresnahan (BJ \u201901)<\/strong> and All in A Day<\/em> host Alan Neal (BJ \u201995)<\/strong> \u2014 have also been exploring every aspect of the pandemic and providing vital information to listeners.<\/p>\n

Global News national correspondent Abigail Bimman (BJ \u201908)<\/strong> has been one of that network\u2019s leading reporters on the COVID-19 file.\"\"<\/p>\n

And many J-School graduates are performing crucial work behind the scenes to keep the public informed about the pandemic, such as Citizen<\/em> editor Alison Mah (MJ \u201914) and <\/strong>TVOntario producers Cara Stern (BJ \u201912)<\/strong> and Harrison Lowman (BJ \u201913)<\/strong> at The Agenda with Steve Paikin<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe journalists listed here are but a few of our graduates across Canada and beyond who are working hard to keep people informed,\u201d said Susan Harada, the head of the School\u2019s journalism program. \u201cThe work they\u2019re doing demonstrates why it\u2019s so important to provide clear and accurate journalism, most especially during this constantly evolving crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n

Current J-School students have also been working hard to report on COVID-19. Read more here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
