This short brief provides a case study of the experience of Jakenn Publishing PLC during the ongoing COVID 19 global pandemic and was written on behalf of the company by KEMMCOM Media and Communications PLC. We hope that JaKenn Publishing’s experience during the first seven weeks of the COVID 19 pandemic in Ethiopia can serve as a case example for concrete action by all important stakeholders in the Ethiopian media system with a long drawn out period of reduced movement, slowdown of economic and political activity, and the potential for increased number of casualties expected in the coming few months.
