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.
