Weekly livestream show will engage USA TODAY
NETWORK journalists across the country to answer people’s most
pressing questions about COVID-19
USA TODAY NETWORK, part of Gannett Co., Inc. (NYSE: GCI), today
announced it is launching a new livestream show “Just the FAQs
LIVE: Conversations about Coronavirus” on Facebook to answer
people’s most pressing questions about COVID-19. The live
conversation will also feature Gannett journalists, reporting from
across the country and providing their local communities with
trusted news and information amid the coronavirus outbreak.
“Just the FAQs LIVE: Conversations about Coronavirus” is hosted
by Megan Finnerty, founder and director of the Storytellers Project
and Storytellers Brand Studio at Gannett. The live episodes will
run roughly 30 minutes and will include a round-robin report
bringing together local Gannett journalists to share what is
happening in their communities and an established thought leader or
expert to share insights on COVID-19. Additionally, each week, a
conversation topic will be selected based on the most-asked
questions of the week sourced from USA TODAY reader questions and
Local Facebook Groups. The show will be livestreamed on the USA
TODAY Facebook page, as well as many of Gannett’s local media
pages.
USA TODAY NETWORK is launching two additional shows in
partnership with Facebook that will focus on COVID-19 news and
information. “Just the FAQs: Coronavirus Explained,” part of USA
TODAY NETWORK’s flagship explainer series, will tackle the biggest
coronavirus news of the week and distill it with explanatory
graphics, videos and photos. Each explainer episode will also
include an on-camera briefing from a USA TODAY NETWORK journalist
who will dig deep into the issue that is the subject of the
episode. “Just the FAQs: Coronavirus Recap,” will feature clips of
the most salient points made by guests of the livestream show. The
two shows can be viewed at www.usatoday.com/justthefaqs and on
Facebook.
