Reporting by video calls, like Skype and Zoom, often gets a bad rap. Freelancers don’t want to brush their hair and get on camera, sources don’t have the software installed on their device, and the whole experience can seem impersonal compared to meeting in real life. With social distancing and travel restrictions, this is the perfect time to reconsider both your attitude toward the technology and also the richness of rapport and reporting it can help provide.
