This book explores communication during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Recenzii

“While written in the early stages of the pandemic, the wide-ranging Communicating COVID-19: Interdisciplinary Perspectives offers key observations. The volume demonstrates that the rhetoric during the pandemic was largely shaped by each country’s government and tailored to what each saw as their primary goal. … These results are a strong reminder for journalism academics to re-explore the great variety of ways health messages can be brought across to the public and to re-examine critically the effects of news source selection.” (Beate Josephi, Australian Journalism Review, Vol. 44 (1), 2022)

“It is refreshing to read frank accounts of the negatives and difficult challenges of public communication and how these can be addressed, rather than glowing accounts of the importance and success of communication that characterizes many collections of case studies. This is an often raw and provocative collection of studies worthy of the attention of journalism and media studies scholars, health communication researchers and professionals, and public health officials.” (Jim Macnamara, International Journal of Communication, Issue 16, 2022)
