dc.description.abstractIn the case of the 2014 Ebola outbreak in Western Africa, which claimed over 11,000 lives, the virus propagated faster than reliable data, leaving local journalists facing both an unprecedented epidemic and a shortage of credible information. This project explored the experiences of local journalists during the 2014 Ebola outbreak. For journalists, it was not so much the accessibility, but the credibility of information that was often felt to be missing. Effective journalism for future health crises thus requires improving real-time collaboration between the health sector, governmental agencies and journalists, as well as the use of verification tools.en
