Webinar 76: Development journalism, Asia-Pacific and COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has presented new challenges for the global development community and efforts to combat poverty, hunger, gender inequality and more. At the same time, governments such as the United Kingdom have cut their spending on international development -- a move that is expected to have long-lasting effects. In this webinar, Devex Associate Editor Amruta Byatnal will share how her news outlet, which focuses on global development, is covering the pandemic. She will give an introduction on development journalism, including an overview of key players, reporting on the development ecosystem, and finding and pitching stories. Byatnal, who is based in New Delhi, will also describe how the pandemic has impacted the Asia-Pacific region, which is also facing other humanitarian crises in countries such as Myanmar.
