WATCH: Today's Top Headlines In 5 Minutes
Our newsroom is partnering with PBS SoCal and KCET to deliver a brief 5 minute (or so) daily update during the coronavirus pandemic. Each afternoon we’ll discuss the news you need to know. We chat about the ways COVID-19 is reshaping Southern California... and life for each of us.
Today PBS SoCal Chief Creative Officer Juan Devis and Adriene Hill, our managing editor, talk with:
- Jackie Fortiér about the latest case numbers,
- Sharon McNary about preparations underway if the number of deaths spike
- David Wagner about the growing economic impacts of the pandemic
- And education reporter Kyle Stokes about how distance learning is going for LA school kids. (Spoiler: not great.)
Power great local fact-checked coverage today.
