Media Narratives and the COVID-19 Pandemic : The Asian Experience, Hardback Book

Media Narratives and the COVID-19 Pandemic : The Asian Experience Hardback

Edited by Shubhda Arora, Keval J. Kumar

Hardback

Description

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 the 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 is of critical interest to scholars and researchers of media and communication studies, politics, especially political communication, social and public policy, and Asian studies.
