Reporters are frontliners too, say veteran journalists


MPI CEO Datuk Chamil Wariya (left) and National Journalism Laureate Tan Sri Johan Jaaffar say journalists should also be considered frontliners in the fight against Covid-19.

KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): Several veteran journalists say reporters should also be categorised as frontliners as they always have to be at ground zero where the action is.

The action may be an event, a natural disaster, a road crash or a shooting incident, and good reporting demands going down to the ground to get the best story, they say.
