We've Got Your Back
Covid-19 has fundamentally changed the world we live in. We worry about our parents, our children, our jobs and lives. This pandemic is the most successful terrorist of all time, leaving the entire world in a communal state of anxiety and fear. Amid the chaos, some good has surfaced: science, the oft-ignored nerdy little brother of popular culture, is finally taking its rightful place in the spotlight. Facts matter. Expertise is, once again, held in high regard.
Journalists have also been categorised as ‘essential services’. Our team has been working tirelessly to provide factual information and to ensure that the 24-hour Covid-19 news cycle is written and reported with due care and process. In their careers, they have covered harrowing events but only time will tell if this pandemic will be categorised as ‘the worst’. As one of the few online dailies without a paywall, or ever intending to put up a paywall, we welcome every new reader because by having them on our site we know that our public service journalism is working, that we are the trusted source of factual information in a time of wholesale misinformation and outright lies.
