Communicating COVID‐19: Interdisciplinary perspectives

Tremblett, Madeleine

Abstract

Covid-19 has been dominant for the past 2 years. Many will have felt the impact of the pandemic in every area of their lives. Communication shaped, and continues to shape, our experience. Individuals were reportedly glued to the news in initial stages of Covid-19 to keep track of changing local and national guidance. Lewis et al.’s volume has begun the task of compiling some of the initial academic work on communication around Covid-19, examining the social and political structures of the communication we received. Clear from the title, this book complies work in 18 chapters from a variety of disciplinary perspectives, and looks at communication about Covid-19 from a range of global positions.
