I\u2019m Ashley Rodriguez. We\u2019re consuming news at a rapid rate. The front page of the&amp;nbsp;New York Times&amp;nbsp;is totally dedicated to COVID-19 coverage, and many other outlets have shifted to focus on the current global pandemic. I wanted to understand how folks who work in breaking news cover stories. We\u2019ve shifted our editorial platform dramatically, so I\u2019m first chatting with Kate Bernot, lead contributor to Sightlines, our news vertical. Kate has years of experience reporting on breaking stories, and we talk about how this moment is different\u2014and the surprises she\u2019s uncovered through a week of nonstop reporting. Then we shift to Alyssa Pereira, GBH contributor and staff writer for SFGate, a news outlet primarily serving the Bay Area and Northern California. From their computers to yours, we talk about how to cover such an unprecedented event, and how you can look at the news through the eyes of a reporter. Here\u2019s Kate to kick us off.
