The Top-Rated Media Outlets on COVID-19
April 9, 2020
In the first 72 days of 2020 (up through March 12, the day of our first such review), roughly 11,000 articles were published about COVID-19 in the entire U.S. media ecosystem. By the end of March (19 days later), that number nearly quadrupled to over 41,000, with a daily output that routinely tops 1,500 articles. Given the media’s incessant effort to capture all aspects of the virus, we decided it was time to revisit the question of who is really providing the most credible coverage on COVID-19.
