How to mentally prepare before returning to the post-pandemic dating scene.

  • The first date should always be a phone call or FaceTime before you meet up in person, so that you can gauge your chemistry.
  • Keeping first dates short (an hour or so)ย is one of the best ways to prevent awkward moments.
  • If you're feeling really worried, you can always schedule a session with a dating coach - like Stef and the City!

How COVID-19 Changed TV News (Interview: Marcus Harun)

How COVID-19 Changed TV News (Interview: Marcus Harun)

Producer Marcus Harun discusses his new documentary; Essential Journalists: How Coronavirus Changed TV News

Armed with 6-foot microphone poles, mask-clad reporters are filming interviews through windows to tell the stories of their communities, while worrying about what illness they may bring back to their families. National news producer Marcus Harun remotely interviews dozens of journalists from across the country about how the coronavirus impacted their jobs and the frightening reality of heading out into the danger zone to report vital information to the public. Some of the countryโ€™s most-watched news programs are being broadcast out of the anchorโ€™s basements as the industry adopted work-from-home plans for the first time. At the national level, CBS lost a producer to COVID-19 and NBC lost an audio technician; a CNN anchor continued to host his show while suffering from the virus. In local news, producers grapple with limited resources to telecommute and anchors struggle to babysit their children during live newscasts. This film about social distancing was produced, edited, and completed all while social distancing from home in a New York apartment.
