*About the book:*This is an open access book which brings together 
leading scholars and critical discourses on political, economic, legal, 
technological, socio-cultural and systemic changes and continuities 
intersecting media and health crises in Sub-Saharan Africa. The volume 
extensively discusses COVID-19 but it also covers other epidemics, such 
as malaria, HIV/AIDS as well as “silent” health crises such as mental 
health---simmering across the subcontinent. The chapters fill knowledge 
gaps, highlight innovations, unpack the complexities surrounding the 
media ecosystem in times of health crises. They explore, among other 
issues, the politics of public health communication; infodemics; 
existential threats to media viability; draconian legislations; threats 
to journalists/journalism; COVID-related entrepreneurship, 
marginalization, and more.

This is a timely resource for academics, advocacy groups, media 
practitioners and policy makers working on crises and media reporting, 
not just in Africa but anywhere in the global South.
