(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – Participants at a two day workshop on the role of the media in the fight against the dreaded Covid 19 pandemic currently ravaging the globe, organized for Journalists in the five South East states of Nigeria, have expressed worry over issue of fake news on the scourge and doubts by many people that the novel killer disease is not real.
They noted that in spite of reports of fatalities and the spike in new infections, quite a good number of people still do not believe that the virus is real.
Our Correspondent who attended the workshop put together by the Nigerian press Council (NPC) in conjunction with EME’GS limited, a private firm weekend, reports that the programme which witnessed several paper presentations was graced by Journalists from both the traditional and new media outfits.
