This book tackles the infodemic—the rapid, widespread diffusion
of false, misleading, or inaccurate information about the disease
and its ramifications—triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic. With a
focus on four Asian societies, the book compares and analyzes the
spread of COVID-19 misinformation and its broad impacts on the
public in Beijing, Hong Kong, Taipei, and Singapore. Providing both
a comprehensive overview of the phenomenon of misinformation and
cross-societal analyses of patterns, the book features in-depth
analyses of the prevalence of COVID-19 misinformation and
engagement and explores its consequences in an Asian context. The
book sheds lights on these key questions: What types of infodemic
messages circulate widely on popular social media platforms? What
factors account for exposure to and engagement with debunked yet
popular COVID-19 misinformation? How does exposure to widely
circulated COVID-19 misinformation affect people’s beliefs,
attitudes, and adoption of preventive measures to cope with the
pandemic? How do macro social differences condition the diffusion
and impacts of COVID-19 misinformation? What intervention
strategies can counter the misinformation? Presenting scientific
insights and empirical findings on the pressing issues about
infodemic, this book will be of great interest to students and
researchers of communication studies, political science, public
health, crisis communication, and Asian Studies, as well as
policymakers and practitioners who wish to acquire cutting-edge,
evidence-based knowledge about combating misinformation during a
global pandemic.
