Book Description

This truly interdisciplinary volume brings together a diverse group of 
scholars to explore changes in the significance of media and 
communication in the era of pandemic. The book answers two interrelated 
questions: how media and communication reality changed during the first 
wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, and how media and communication were 
effectively studied during this time.

The book presents changes in media and communication in three areas: 
media production, media content, and media usage contexts. It then 
describes the theoretical and practical, methodological, technical, 
organizational, and ethical challenges in conducting research in 
circumstances of sudden change in research conditions, emergency 
situations and developing crises. Drawing on various theoretical studies 
and empirical research, the volume illustrates the principles and 
results of applying diverse research methods to the changing role of 
media in a pandemic and offers good practices and guidance to address 
the problems in implementing research projects in a time of sudden 
difficulties and challenges.

This diverse and interdisciplinary book will be of significance to 
scholars and researchers in media studies, communication studies, 
research methods, sociology, anthropology, and cultural studies.
