Even before the crisis, Ed Yong was sounding the alarm about the potential for a worldwide pandemic, writing “The Next Plague is Coming. Is America Ready?” for The Atlantic in 2018.
Yong will discuss the exacting job of covering the global health crisis on Thursday, Oct. 29, at the University of Rhode Island’s annual Christiane Amanpour Lecture, presented by the Harrington School of Communication and Media. The free, virtual lecture begins at 5 p.m. and will be live-streamed on the Harrington School’s social media platforms.
