      "Did the media miss the mark on masks?" is our latest critical analysis by @philmeylan. Meylan looks at the media's coverage of masks, their lack of critique of CDC and WHO recommendations, and how it ultimately impacted the spread of COVID-19.https://blog.thefactual.com/did-the-media-miss-the-mark-on-masks?utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&utm_content=85500145&_hsenc=p2ANqtz--OGOS700D4icFkbjtQXTjSLZuElRG-SBEuEr5iPgNnsFznCrd1c_9VVyfAc1LomvKqK4FxEPc_0bU_U7Cd9hn30gFR6g&_hsmi=85500145 …

      In this article, Meylan highlights the journalists who began to question the efficacy of masks. The first was @MiriamABerger for @washingtonpost who stated: “the science suggests they are a flawed but valid line of defense.”http://wapo.st/2Uv3Y7m

      The second journalist to notice the divergence between official recommendations and public information is @mgodoyh for @NPR. Godoy writes, "[surgical masks] do provide some benefit but they're far from foolproof." http://n.pr/2yp5HT9

      The third journalist to critique CDC and WHO recommendations is @jjmcdona for @factcheckdotorg, who wrote: "they’re a good idea because they will limit some exposure" in a Q&A on COVID-19.https://bit.ly/2w7Uy8w

      However, the media did not change its stance on masks until March 17, when @zeynep recognized the media's shortcomings in a @nytimes article. Tufekci acknowledged precisely just what was wrong with CDC messaging, and how the media failed to question it. http://nyti.ms/2UuE6Zk

          As of today, CDC and WHO guidance remains unchanged, despite data proving the efficacy of masks in limiting the spread of COVID-19 in other countries.

          South Korea had shortages and changed its guidance. Has that been factored into this thinking? Watch the whole clip.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTCLKkSWyus …

          The reality is information is always changing what we should and shouldn't do. Nothing is better than social distancing and washing hands. That's not going to change no matter what new data we get about masks. @mikeinspace
