During the coronavirus outbreak, Global Journalist is talking to some of the workers on the frontlines. They don't always get the recognition of doctors and nurses, but journalists also are risking — and in some cases — giving their lives to get information to the public.

In this first in a series of podcasts. Missouri School of Journalism students interview a Voice of America reporter how he navigated China's closed society to report on the outbreak.

Guest: Yibing Feng

Host: Brendan Hall

Producers: Brendan Hall, Katharine Finnerty, Regan Mertz, Hannah France

Music: Secret Pocketbook and Throughput/Blue Dot Sessions
