Rural pandemic coverage to get online talk at 4 ET Thurs.

On Thursday, May 7, at 4 p.m. ET, The Daily Yonder and the Rural Assembly will present an online panel discussion with rural journalists covering aspects of covid-19.

The pandemic has hit some rural areas harder than others, including tourist areas, the Deep South, tribal lands, and areas with meat-processing plants. The panelists will talk about how the pandemic has affected different types of rural areas and the people who live there.

The Rural Assembly is a program of the nonprofit Center for Rural Strategies, which publishes The Daily Yonder. Click here for more information, including an updated list of panelists. The discussion will be livecast on the Yonder's YouTube channel; viewers can participate and ask questions during the discussion via YouTube's chat function.
