The phases of lockdown brought about by the pandemic fundamentally changed the way we work, lead our everyday lives, and how we communicate, resulting in Internet platforms becoming more important than ever before. Communicating COVID-19 explores the impact of these changes on society and the way we communicate, and the effect this has had on the spread of misinformation. Critical communication and Internet scholar Christian Fuchs analyses the changes of everyday communication in the COVID-19 crisis and how misinformation has spread online throughout the pandemic. He explores the foundations and rapid spread of conspiracy theories and anti-vaccination discourse on the Internet, paying particular attention to the vast amount of COVID-19 conspiracy theories about Bill Gates. He also interrogates Internet users' reactions to these COVID-19 conspiracy theories as well as how Donald Trump communicated about COVID-19 on Twitter during the final year of his Presidency. Communicating COVID-19 is an essential work for anyone seeking to understand the role of digital technologies, changes in communication and the Internet, and the spread of conspiracy theories in the context of COVID-19.-- 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 647 7 COVID-19 Pandemic|d(2020-)|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/2024716 650 0 COVID-19 Pandemic, 2020-|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2020008759|xSocial aspects.|0https://id.loc.gov /authorities/subjects/sh00002758 650 0 Communication in public health.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2004007172 650 0 Communication|xSocial aspects.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85029040 650 0 Disinformation|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85038430|xSocial aspects.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh00002758 650 0 Social media.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh2006007023 650 0 COVID-19 (Disease)|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2020000570 650 7 Social aspects.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1354981 650 7 Communication in public health.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1202395 650 7 Communication|xSocial aspects.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/870009 650 7 Disinformation.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/895245 650 7 social media.|2aat 650 7 Social media.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1741098 650 7 Conspiracy theories.|2bicssc 650 7 COVID-19 (Disease)|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1984643 650 7 Social Science, Conspiracy Theories.|2bisacsh 650 7 Social media.|2homoit|0https://homosaurus.org/v3/ homoit0001321 655 4 Electronic books. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aFuchs, Christian.|tCommunicating COVID- 19 : everyday life, digital capitalism, and conspiracy theories in pandemic times.|bFirst edition.|dHoward House, Wagon Lane, Bingley, UK : Emerald Publishing Limited, 2021.|z1801177236|z9781801177238|w(DLC) 2022304325 |w(OCoLC)1250012061 830 0 SocietyNow.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ no2018018696 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=2899493|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
