MEDIA as a business is one of my favorite topics, and an interesting side effect of the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) epidemic is what it has done for the media business. Not everyone is convinced the media is doing the job right, and to be frank, there are some good reasons for that. The Covid-19 epidemic has proven to be a wickedly difficult subject to cover properly. It is that fear and disruption of Covid-19 that makes a traditional media vital. Social media is and always will be faster than traditional media, because everyone is potentially a source of information; add more sources, and the information moves even faster.
