Welcome to our special section for helping journalists around the world improve their coverage of the COVID-19 pandemic. Here, you can find a variety of resources, including regional briefings, self-directed online courses and recordings of webinars in multiple languages. This online hub of courses and resources is part of an effort to assist journalists that started in 2020, immediately after the declaration of a pandemic. The Knight Center’s Journalism Courses program has worked with UN agencies — specifically UNESCO, the United Nations Development Programme, and the World Health Organization — to produce COVID-19 resources for journalists, including massive open online courses, self-directed courses, and webinars in a variety of languages. It has already benefited thousands of journalists around the world.

This is a multilingual space, so in the section below, use the search and filter to find courses and webinars in your particular language. On this page you can also find a series of special briefings written by science and health journalists about coverage of COVID-19 in the Global South. The links to the briefings are below the courses and webinars.
