Opinion | Reporting on Long Covid Taught Me to Be a Better Journalist Covering long Covid solidified my view that science is not the objective, neutral force that it is often caricatured to be.

I wrote an op-ed for the NYT about what reporting on long COVID has meant to me—how I approached it, the impact it had, and how it taught me to be a better journalist.

This piece is sort of a manifesto for a journalism grounded in compassion, rigor, and care.
