How a health story is built in the major media, minute by minute.

When a health issue becomes breaking news, information moves fast and every decision matters. What is shared, how it is explained, and who speaks can shape how people understand and react to a situation.

This session explores how major media handle health news in real time, balancing speed, impact, and responsibility in contexts of uncertainty. It also examines the relationship between journalists, health institutions, and communication teams and how they work together under pressure.

A conversation with international media leaders and institutional communicators will bring real-world experiences and perspectives to the discussion.
