		<description>What happens when our journalists, the people we expect to be out in the world for us, are forced to stay at home? At a time when we vitally need reliable reporting, how are editors managing the COVID-19 crisis? 

For each episode we are going to step into a different organisation and explore how they are adapting their content production processes to what has become known as the “New Normal” that Covid-19 has forced us to adjust to.
