At a time when a substantial population of the country is limiting their outdoor activities to stay safe from COVID-19, journalists have been risking their lives to bring us the ground report. In recognition of their efforts, they’ve been declared as Frontline Covid Warriors.
However, very few people are aware of the difficulties being faced by journalists in carrying out their duty. The panel discussion is an effort to hear their stories and understand the sacrifices they’ve had to make in the line of duty.
