Abstract

This is not a commentary on the coronavirus outbreak, or related health emergencies in the past. It is about journalism, and the reportage of health, on the scale currently experienced. What this implies is rumination, reflection, thought and action. With crises in mind, the action becomes the thought itself. Hence, to begin with, we ask some fundamental questions the likes of: What is health crisis reporting? Why do health reporting stories appear as they do?
