I watched the daily briefing on 10/14 where many different issues were spoken about such as climate change, as COVID-19 in different places including my beat for this semester, Dominican Republic.
The loss of two children in Myanmar raised a lot of concern because there has been an increase of killings of children there. More than 100 have passed in just the beginning of 2020.
As I said they mentioned my beat, Dominican Republic and they spoke on the impact covid-19 has had on the employment there.
There has also been an increase in COVID-19 cases in Libya with the lives of more than 125,000 people are at risk.
It was a bit tough for me to keep up with everything addressed and my internet was a bit glitchy but in my opinion from what I caught although DR is my beat specifically in that of COVID-19 and its impacts I would report on climate change in general. Just because it is something that is affecting the whole world and also a matter that everyone must know about. Although, it would more difficult to cover such a broad topic, but maybe stories on how it affects each place individually.
Watching this just gave me more of a glimpse into the problems of the world. Lately it’s been easy to set all focus in on Corona Virus and we forget there are other issues still shadowing us.
