[Commlist] New "Comunicação e Sociedade" on “Communicating in Health in Times of Pandemic”

  New /Comunicação e Sociedade/ on “Communicating in Health in Times of
  Pandemic”

Has just been launched the new volume of the /Comunicação e Sociedade/ 
journal dedicated to the theme “Health Communication during a pandemic 
<https://www.cecs.uminho.pt/?post_type=publicacao&p=17109&preview=true>“, edited 
by Felisbela Lopes, Rita Araújo and Peter Schulz.

According to the editors, “this issue presents texts that offer us a 
systemic vision of Communication and Journalism during the pandemic, 
namely in the first year of SARS-CoV-2”.

“When something happens that is truly unusual and gets widespread 
attention in a collective of human beings either because the population 
demand it or the powerful think it is in their interest that the 
population knows, we are faced with a situation that allows 
communication researchers and laypersons to study communication at work, 
directly, immediate, proximal, and one’s own concerns still fresh. Only 
the unusual events might come between the researcher and her object. If 
the event is joyful, elation might occupy observers’ hearts and minds. 
If the event is a threat, fears might distract the observer from 
observing. If a country is locked down, most everyday tasks in managing 
one’s life get more difficult and consume more time”, they add.
