About the Book

Covid-19 Misinformation Flows describes challenges in accessing, collecting, processing, and disseminating information on pandemics, with a focus on Covid-19 communication. An international team of authors addresses the role of disinformation and misinformation in managing the communication of epidemics; how social media platforms and mainstream media outlets in some countries and regions address pandemics in the context of the flow, learning, and sharing of information on Covid-19. Looking at how traditional media and social media report pandemics, especially Covid-19, the volume addresses the effect of fake news on individuals and businesses, and the impact of such communication on physical and mental health. This book will interest scholars and students of health communication, social media communication, journalism, political communication, and media and communication in the Global South.

Review :
"Based on cases from different countries in the global south, this book offers an original and rigorous look at the communicative aspects of Covid-19 around the world." -- Dr. José Luis Estrada Rodríguez, Professor and Researcher, Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla, Mexico, North America "We read about fake news and misinformation in our daily news diets, especially regarding Covid-19. However, health communication specialists seldom encounter a comprehensive volume addressing related, additional challenges: a systematic scholarly examination of the precise nature of pandemic miscommunication; and a focus for that examination on the experiences of the Global South. Those extra endeavors are invaluable and long overdue. Congratulations to editor Emmanuel Ngwainmbi for summoning the focus and energy required to assemble this collection of ambitious, talented scholars explaining pandemic misinformation patterns and their effects from the perspective of the Global South." -- John C. Pollock, Professor of Communication Studies and Public Health, Depts. of Communication, Journalism, and Film; and Public Health & Director, Health Communication and Social Justice Lab, College of New Jersey, North America "This book covers many specific cases of policy driven responses, as well as cases of disruptive attempts by private actors. Providing a wide diversity of perspectives, it allows for a better understanding of the failings and successes of nation states and its citizens during an event that may not be common but takes specific shapes in many countries of the Global South. Thus, it provides a way to learn how not to fail when any society faces similar situations in the coming years." -- Dr. Eduardo Villanueva-Mansilla, Dean of the School of Communications Arts and Sciences, Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. South America "In this provocative communication and media book, Sociopolitical Outcomes of Communicating Health Issues Globally, Emmanuel Ngwainmbi has produced a book that deserves accolades because of the convergence of outstanding scholars writing about significant themes in health and communication. The book has a freshness, dynamism, and futuristic orientation that makes it suitable for numerous classes in sociology and communication." -- Molefi Kete Asante, American Philosopher, Professor, Department of Africology, Temple University, North America "The Covid-19 pandemic had a devastating impact on the global South. The accurate and credible messaging of the biggest health emergency for a century was a particularly serious challenge in the developing world. This collection of essays provides the much-needed analysis of this complex communication scenario." -- Daya Thussu, Professor of International Communication, Hong Kong Baptist University, Asia President, International Association for Media and Communication Research
