This volume investigates mediated lives and media narratives during
the COVID-19 pandemic, with Asia as a focus point. It shows how the
pandemic has created an unprecedented situation in this globalized
world marked by many disruptions in the social, economic, political
and cultural lives of individuals and communities - creating a 'new
normal'. It explores the different media vocabularies of fear,
panic, social distancing, and contagion from across Asian nations.
It focuses on the role media played as most nations faced lockdowns
and unique challenges during this crisis. From healthcare workers
to sex workers, from racism to nationalism, from the plight of
migrant workers in news reporting to state propaganda, this book
brings critical questions confronting media professionals into
focus. The volume will be of critical interest to scholars and
researchers of media and communication studies, politics,
especially political communication, social and public policy, and
Asian studies.

International Satellite Broadcasting in South Asia focuses on the
increase in the popularity of television in India beginning with
the entrance of Hong Kong Based STAR-TV in 1991. This television
system, which initially carried mostly Western programs, radically
changed the nature of entertainment communications in countries
where communications were generally state-controlled. These essays
address the political, economic, and cultural significance and
impact of transnational satellite networks in India, questioning
the cultural effects of Western media programs on the recipient
non-Western countries. They contain a survey of STAR-TV and the
state-controlled Doordarshan as well as explore issues such as
media and identity, pro-social entertainment television and culture
as a market force.
