The purpose of public media is to provide programs and services that inform, educate, enlighten and enrich the public. In a situation like Corona, very little 'facts' are known at the beginning of the process. Generally, the media will be informing audiences on happenings and events (claims), this is journalism. This could be seen as 'fiction' since there is no evidence that supports it, but neither denying it. It comes down to the ethics of journalism that could lead to spreading false info.
