How ABC Science is navigating the challenges of reporting on the coronavirus pandemic and one tough critic

Health reporter Tegan Taylor may be one of the co-hosts of the ABC's popular Coronacast podcast, but that doesn't mean everyone is a fan of her work. ABC Science's online team of specialist science, health and technology reporters have been reporting on the coronavirus pandemic since the virus emerged. "Even for those of us who know what red flags to look out for, this is not an easy story to cover," ABC Science's digital lead Claudine Ryan says. The challenges of covering an emerging public health emergency ABC Science has always been a geographically dispersed team, with reporters working from the ABC's offices in Brisbane, Canberra, Sydney and Melbourne.
