In lieu of Dr. Alan Chartock’s morning commentary, WAMC airs a slice of this week’s Media Project. Dr. Chartock, Times Union Editor-at-Large Rex Smith, former editor and investigative journalist Rosemary Armao, and Judy Patrick, vice president for editorial development at the New York Press Association, discuss the media’s coverage of President Trump during the coronavirus pandemic.
The group also considers whether the media could better balance COVID-19 headlines with other stories at this time.
