HYDERABAD: The Osmania University’s department of journalism and mass communication has decided to launch a digital platform – Covid Chronicles – to document experiences of people during the pandemic.
According to a press release issued by the university, the platform envisages to record how the world lives and survives during the coronavirus (Covid-19) outbreak that started in Wuhan, China in December, 2019 and engulfed the world thereby disrupting the life of humanity.
“The rationale behind launching this platform is that the Covid-19 has changed the lives of people like never before and each of them has developed their own mechanisms to deal with the unusual lockdown situation,” read the press release.
The department has asked people to send their contributions in the form of brief write ups not exceeding two pages, paintings, videos, poems and reflections to covidchronicles20@gmail.com. The last date for entries is May 12, 2020. The department will sort out all the entries and select a few to come up with a final output which will be hosted on a website and would be brought out in the form of an e-book later.
