Power, Media and the Covid-19 Pandemic

This ground-breaking collection takes a determinedly critical perspective, drawing upon the observations of an international cohort of leading scholars who bring an 'activist' slant to the subject. The use of 'framing' theory, representation and the critical discourse tradition feature prominently in the Introduction, underpinned by more specific methods apposite for interpreting texts, narratives and actions (i.e. critical discourse analysis, online ethnographic enquiry, multimodal approaches, surveys, etc.). The first in-depth academic analysis of mediated responses to the Covid-19 pandemic, this collection is both a considered intervention in its own right, and a reference-point for future research.
