The situation of global alarm generated by the Coronavirus has opened many questions and scenarios to be analysed and debated in the media, which is a channel for information on the pandemic and which has had to carry out its work in exceptional working conditions such as social distance, teleworking or the risk of contagion. During this pandemic, the role played by the media in conveying truthful and useful information to public opinion and their work as a parapet for fake news is fundamental. In this meeting, the representatives of the media will debate these situations that have marked their daily lives from a personal and professional point of view.
