Allison Frisch, Assistant Professor of Journalism and Documentary Studies, published a curated playlist of multimedia journalism during COVID-19 as part of the Centre for Screen Cultures playlist initiative at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland.

The themed playlist initiative provides resources for scholars around the world for teaching and research on independent multimedia journalism in a time of coronavirus.

Frisch's playlist offers a list of multimedia journalism which allows for an expansive and people-centered perspective on living with the pandemic.

The works in this playlist are international, from Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Ecuador, Guatemala, Italy, Mexico, Peru, the United States, Uruguay, Venezuela and more.

Themed Playlist: Multimedia Journalism and COVID-19 

The pieces from the COVID-19 period of global pandemic function as ethical, urgent and necessary reportage that will call out to future generations.

About the Playlist Initiative (Source: Centre for Screen Cultures):

"Developed in the early stages of lockdown, the CSC Playlist Initiative sought to navigate the abundance of media materials, especially with digital archives, proliferating streaming platforms, and film festivals migrating online. In the process, it became an opportunity to give visibility to multiple perspectives and voices as media scholars, programmers and makers provided their suggestions. An archive of the now, this initiative offers a resource for teaching and research and a disruption of the often totalizing and exclusionary tendencies of so many lists."
