Journalists are expected to always follow the trail of the news. But with the coronavirus pandemic affecting every aspect of the society, they have to find ways of reporting (and dealing with) the crisis while everyone is confined inside their homes.

Back when things were still normal, journalists had the tedious job of going places to get information and verify them. But the pandemic confined everyone inside their homes, and in the case of journalists, they were stuck in front of their laptops.

Although he can have a crew van to help him go out in the field, CNN Philippines’ correspondent Gerg Cahiles is worried of the threat brought by the virus. But with the “new normal”, things have changed on how journalists work on their stories. Mateo said that even sources have also adapted to it. “I don’t have the right equipment for this work at home setup. I remember on the first few days of the quarantine, we were asked to do Facebook Live...Eh tayong mga nasa broadcast we think of videos. So I thought of getting videos from the ground and asked from the sources if they can provide us some, and edit it, and show it through my TV,” he said.

Foster said the mobile video sharing app, which keeps everybody busy while under home quarantine, somehow helped his journalistic skills. “Malaki yung epekto niya , because there is a general anxiety, a lot of people are experiencing this anxiety towards the pandemic.”Foster also shared the same sentiments.
