This book explores communication during the first year of the
COVID-19 pandemic. Featuring the work of leading communication
scholars from around the world, it offers insights and analyses
into how individuals, organisations, communities, and nations have
grappled with understanding and responding to the pandemic that has
rocked the world. The book examines the role of journalists and
news media in constructing meanings about the pandemic, with
chapters focusing on public interest journalism, health workers and
imagined audiences in COVID-19 news. It considers public health
responses in different countries, with chapters examining
community-driven approaches, communication strategies of
governments and political leaders, public health advocacy, and
pandemic inequalities. The role of digital media and technology is
also unravelled, including social media sharing of misinformation
and memetic humour, crowdsourcing initiatives, the use of data in
modelling, tracking and tracing, and strategies for managing
uncertainties created in a pandemic.
