Here, @jayrosen_nyu distills what the Trump administration's plan is for coping with the coronavirus: https://pressthink.org/2020/05/the-plan-is-to-have-no-plan/

It's only three paragraphs long. Below are the first two; click through to read the third.

It seems accurate, and ought to inform reporting on COVID-19

This point ...

... "The press won’t be able to 'expose' the plot because it will all happen in stark daylight" ...

... is particularly on-point for journalists thinking about how to cover this. Their instinct is that someone doing something dreadful seeks to hide it ...

... which leads them to ignore or under-report something terrible that's happening in the open.

Similarly, journalism's focus on novelty -- "here's a new development today in this ongoing story" -- breaks, when a public figure is just doing the same thing, day in, day out ...

... because they quickly ignore that behavior. It's not new, right? To cover it would require one to point out the same thing over and over again, every day, too.

That feels too awkward, in the style and tempo of daily journalism.
