Journalism in times of corona
Denne opgave gennemgår de journalistiske virkemidler, der blev benyttet i de danske medier i tider hvor coronavissen ramte verdenen over. Der benyttes teori vedrørende journalistisk formidling, til at finde ud af på hvilke måde medierne benytter disse til at formidle informationerne på en måde, der gør den både informative og medrivende. Der analysere forkskellige nedslag i tiden hvor coronavirruset blev dækket i de danske medier, og disse nedslag række over forskellige typer medier på forskellige kanaler. Det konkluderes at coronakrisen har haft en inflydelse på nyhedsformidling på flere måde, heriblandt at formidlingen på flere måder kompencerede for at nyheden fandt sted langt fra modtagerne, og at den til tider har gjort selve formidlingen udfordrende. Kompensering kommer i kraft af strategisk brug af strukturelle og audiovisuelle virkemidler, der er med til formidle begivenhederne og bringe seeren tættere på dem. Til sidst diskuteres det, hvilket ansvar medierne har i deres formidling, for at undgå at skabe frygt blandt befolkningen.This assignment examines the journalistic tools used, which was used in the Danish media to cover the times when the coronavisse hit the world. Theory of journalistic communication is used in order to find out how the media uses these to distribute information, in a way that makes the information both informative and engaging. The theories consist of journalistic communication in both the printed media and the video media. Different analyzes are conducted, all during the time when the corona virus was covered in the Danish media, and these touchdowns occur across different types of media on different media channels. It is concluded, that the corona crisis has had an impact on the media coverage in several ways, including that the communications, in several ways, have compensated for the events taking place far from the recipients and that the consequences of the virus itself has at times made the covering of it challenging. Compensation is achieved through strategic use of structural and audiovisual tools, that help to best convey the events and bring the viewer, in a sense, closer to them. Finally, this paper discusses the responsibilities that the media has in their way of covering the events, so they avoid creating fear among the population.
