In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, broadcasters are providing breaking news, tallying and analysing the numbers as they are announced by various authorities, and media organizations are adding content to their daily programming to keep communities informed with timely, trusted, reliable information.

We put these questions to Noel Curran, the Director-General of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU).
