This is the introduction of an article by Dr Denis Muller, who's the senior research fellow at the Centre for Advancing Journalism at the University of Melbourne.
Karyn asks Dr Muller to talk through the patterns he's seeing in the media covering of the Covid-19 crisis in Victoria, asking how the reporting has gone from impact and response to a focus on the blame phase.
