Now that 2020 is finally coming to a close, News24 takes stock of the year it was in this special Frontline annual review issue.
It has been an unprecedented year in many ways, with news of Covid-19 dominating the headlines. We go behind the scenes of the most important stories of the year, with the journalists who brought you the news, first hand.
In Part 1 of this special two-part series, Editor-in-Chief Adriaan Basson talks about preparing News24 to cover Covid-19, while Deputy News Editor Mpho Raborife talks about the challenges of running a newsroom during a pandemic.
