Our COVID-19 Pledge

We hear you. Young people around Australia are tired, confused by the way certain sections of the media are covering the pandemic, and frustrated by government inaction. Being constantly bombarded with sensationalist headlines and conflicting messages has been draining to say the least. So we’re taking a stand.

Zee Feed is joining BuzzFeed, Concrete Playground, Junkee, The Latch, Man of Many, and Urban List in a commitment to only publish helpful and necessary COVID-19 content that will unite our audiences as a force of informed, optimistic people ready to lead the country’s recovery.

As part of the ‘Publishers for Healthy Headlines’ campaign, all seven titles are pledging to: put the science first; reject fear-mongering and alarmist headlines around vaccines; and make considered image choices.

Safely opening Australia up – not just our borders and cities, but also hearts and minds – will rely on driving COVID-19 vaccination rates in people under 40. To drive this mission, we will only produce content that helps young people feel informed, confidence and comfortable in their choice to get vaccinated.
