Coronaviruses have been in existence for over five decades – shaking and taking lives around the world. COVID-19 is similar to others in this regard, but different because it has had a more global impact, causing more deaths than previous life-threatening viruses. In order to reduce deaths and curtail the virus, different communication forms are being used in various countries. Hinged on the agenda-setting and the individual differences theories of media, this study analyses the use of photographs, comedy and music in communicating coronavirus messages on Instagram, the influence of these messages on preventive measures and the attitude of Nigerian citizens to prevention tips based on the content of the messages. Using mixed method of qualitative content analysis and survey, 120 Instagram COVID-19 messages from sixteen social media skit creators/influencers were analysed. Responses of 247 survey respondents, mostly from South West Nigeria, were used to examine the influence of these messages on citizens’ preventive habits. Results of the study reveal that different methods including pictures, comedy, music, satire and spoken words were used in communicating coronavirus messages and preventive tips on Instagram. However, music, comedy, photograph and short film messages gained more attention and responses from citizens. Citizens identified them as helpful in cultivating preventive habits because these messages were easier to remember and they gave detailed explanations of prevention habits citizens should adhere to in order to curtail the spread of coronavirus. Media should therefore continue to use different strategies, especially music, comedy, photographs and short films, to reach citizens.
冠状病毒已经存在了50多年,在世界各地震动和夺走生命。COVID-19在这方面与其他病毒相似,但不同之处在于它的全球影响更大,造成的死亡人数比以前危及生命的病毒更多。为了减少死亡和遏制这种病毒,各国正在使用不同的传播形式。本研究以媒体的议程设置和个体差异理论为基础,分析了照片、喜剧和音乐在Instagram上传播冠状病毒信息时的使用情况,这些信息对预防措施的影响,以及尼日利亚公民对基于信息内容的预防提示的态度。采用定性内容分析和调查的混合方法,分析了来自16位社交媒体小品创作者/影响者的120条Instagram COVID-19消息。247名调查对象(主要来自尼日利亚西南部)的答复被用来检查这些信息对公民预防习惯的影响。研究结果显示,在Instagram上传播冠状病毒信息和预防提示时,人们使用了不同的方法,包括图片、喜剧、音乐、讽刺和口头语言。然而,音乐、喜剧、照片和短片信息获得了更多的关注和回应。市民们认为这些信息有助于培养预防习惯,因为这些信息更容易记住,并详细解释了公民应该遵守的预防习惯,以遏制冠状病毒的传播。因此,媒体应继续使用不同的策略,特别是音乐、喜剧、照片和短片,来接触公民。

The coverage of crises such as the global health pandemic, COVID-19, is to a large extent guided by national interest, journalistic culture and editorial policies of media outlets. This article argues that the state-controlled newspaper, The Herald, in Zimbabwe deployed constructive journalism as an approach to report COVID-19. Constructive journalism is about injecting positive angles into news reports while abiding by the core news values of accuracy, impartiality and balance. The findings reveal that constructive journalism elements of solutions orientation, future orientation, and explanation and contextualization were frequently deployed by The Herald to advance a safe nation narrative whose objective was to prevent public hysteria in the face of a deadly COVID-19 outbreak in the country. The paper concludes that the deployment of constructive journalism in less developed countries like Zimbabwe to inspire hope through positive psychology in the face of global crises does not always yield the intended outcomes.
对COVID-19等全球卫生大流行危机的报道在很大程度上受到国家利益、新闻文化和媒体编辑政策的指导。本文认为,津巴布韦国家控制的报纸《先驱报》(the Herald)采用建设性新闻作为报道COVID-19的方法。建设性新闻是在坚持准确、公正、平衡的新闻核心价值的同时,在新闻报道中注入积极的角度。调查结果显示,《先驱报》经常采用解决方案导向、未来导向、解释和情境化等建设性新闻元素,以推进安全国家叙事,其目标是防止公众在面对致命的COVID-19疫情时歇斯底里。这篇论文的结论是,在津巴布韦等欠发达国家,在面对全球危机时,通过积极心理学来激发希望的建设性新闻的部署并不总是产生预期的结果。

China has been a pivotal player throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, yet there is very little research on how China’s role and effort have been interpreted among African countries that are diverged in their crisis responses. Through content and discourse analysis of the local media and more than 50 in-depth interviews, this study investigates media representation of China during the coronavirus pandemic in the Kenyan and Ethiopian newspapers, specifically Kenyan’s Daily Nation and The Standard, and the Ethiopian Herald and The Reporter. This study finds that Kenyan newspapers adopted a more critical and problem-centred narrative, as many of its news articles are organized around problems such as the ‘debt-trap diplomacy’, and the mistreatment of Africans in Guangzhou during the pandemic. Unlike Kenyan newspapers, Ethiopian newspapers adopted a more positive and favourable tone towards China. This article also captures the dynamics behind the production of China-related news during the pandemic, and discusses how the media environment, professional norms, journalistic habitus, the ‘rules of games’ (i.e. who counts as an important source) have fundamentally shaped the news production.
在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间,中国一直发挥着关键作用,但很少有研究表明,在危机应对方面存在分歧的非洲国家如何解读中国的作用和努力。本研究通过对当地媒体的内容和话语分析以及50多次深度采访,调查了肯尼亚和埃塞俄比亚报纸在冠状病毒大流行期间对中国的媒体表现,特别是肯尼亚的《每日国家报》和《标准报》,以及埃塞俄比亚先驱报和《记者报》。这项研究发现,肯尼亚报纸采用了一种更具批判性和以问题为中心的叙事方式,因为它的许多新闻文章都围绕诸如“债务陷阱外交”以及疫情期间广州非洲人受到虐待等问题展开。与肯尼亚报纸不同,埃塞俄比亚报纸对中国的态度更为积极和有利。本文还捕捉了疫情期间中国相关新闻生产背后的动态,并讨论了媒体环境、专业规范、新闻习惯、“游戏规则”(即谁是重要消息来源)如何从根本上塑造了新闻生产。

From COVID-19 to COVID-666: Quasi-religious mentality and ideologies in Nigerian coronavirus pandemic discourse 从COVID-19到COVID-666:尼日利亚冠状病毒大流行话语中的准宗教心态和意识形态

In response to the global outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, different religious-immune conspiracy theories emerged to explain the increasing scary situation in Nigeria. Emerging multifarious narratives of the contagion, which are embedded in peculiar Nigerian socio-religiosity and religious economy, reconstructed the discourses into two complexities: corona disease is an invention of the devil and other dark evil forces, and corona disease is a sign of the end of times. The obvious fabrications escalated uncertainties surrounding the pandemic as well as generated anxiety and fears among potential believers who sermonize spiritual vigilance for the ‘final battle and journey’. Drawing insights from critical discourse analysis, moral panic and frame theory, this study explores discursive means through which the pandemic is represented and reconstructed as long-awaited ‘doomsday’ warning in Nigerian online communities. Findings reveal instances of varying descriptive names, lexical derivations and discursive frames that reflect counter belief and quasi-religious ideologies. The study argues that complex religious doctrines rooted in antichrist or mark of the beast view, socio-religious ideologies of dominionism and overcommernism, cultural and personal linguistic processes have all contributed in shaping and institutionalizing the viral ‘apocalyptic’ world-view of the outbreak.
为了应对COVID-19大流行的全球爆发,出现了不同的宗教免疫阴谋论来解释尼日利亚日益可怕的局势。在尼日利亚独特的社会宗教信仰和宗教经济中出现了各种各样关于这种传染病的叙述,这些叙述将话语重建为两种复杂性:冠状病是魔鬼和其他黑暗邪恶势力的发明,冠状病是时代终结的标志。这些明显的捏造加剧了围绕疫情的不确定性,也在潜在信徒中引发了焦虑和恐惧,他们呼吁在“最后的战斗和旅程”中保持精神警惕。借鉴批判性话语分析、道德恐慌和框架理论的见解,本研究探索了在尼日利亚网络社区中,将疫情表现为期待已久的“世界末日”警告的话语手段。研究结果揭示了反映反信仰和准宗教意识形态的不同描述性名称、词汇衍生和话语框架的实例。该研究认为,植根于反基督或野兽标记观的复杂宗教教义、支配主义和过度商业主义的社会宗教意识形态、文化和个人语言过程,都有助于形成和制度化病毒式的“末日”世界观。

‘Subaltern’ pushbacks: An analysis of responses by Facebook users to ‘racist’ statements by two French doctors on testing a COVID-19 vaccine in Africa “次等”的反击:Facebook用户对两名法国医生在非洲测试COVID-19疫苗时发表的“种族主义”言论的回应分析

In April 2020, two French doctors discussed on television the idea of testing a COVID-19 vaccine in Africa. The controversial utterances were widely condemned, subsequently leading the doctors apologizing. Using thematic analysis, and drawing on Stuart Hall’s encoding‐decoding model and the concepts of coloniality and decoloniality, this article analyses responses to the doctors’ statements by social media users. Of the decoding positions proposed by Stuart Hall, many Facebook users occupied the oppositional decoding position. Facebook users dethroned ideas rooted in colonialism that positioned Europeans as superior thought leaders and Africans as inferior and passive recipients of western knowledges and leadership. They also dismissed the doctors as flagrant racists. Facebook users affirmed that Africans were not guinea pigs and Africa was not a laboratory. The visceral pushbacks by social media users discredited and delegitimized the doctors’ ideas as well as to foster solidarity among Africans in disparate locations.
2020年4月,两名法国医生在电视上讨论了在非洲测试COVID-19疫苗的想法。这些有争议的言论受到了广泛谴责,随后导致医生们道歉。本文采用主题分析,借鉴Stuart Hall的编码-解码模型以及殖民和非殖民的概念,分析了社交媒体用户对医生言论的反应。在Stuart Hall提出的解码立场中,许多Facebook用户占据了对立的解码立场。Facebook用户摒弃了根植于殖民主义的观念,这些观念将欧洲人定位为优越的思想领袖,将非洲人定位为低劣的、被动的西方知识和领导力的接受者。他们还将这些医生斥为公然的种族主义者。Facebook用户肯定非洲人不是小白鼠,非洲也不是实验室。社交媒体用户发自内心的抵制使医生们的想法失去了可信度和合法性,同时也促进了不同地区非洲人之间的团结。

This study investigates the impact of social media ‘fake news’ and fake cures headlines on how Netizens viewed and responded to the COVID-19 pandemic in Nigeria. Using data from an online survey (N=254), this study reveals that social media was overwhelmingly the most used type of media for news consumption generally, and the most important source of news about the pandemic. Data further reveal that the impact of extensive exposure to fake news headlines about the pandemic was dangerous and could have a deleterious impact. Crucially, this study finds that recalling and believing fake news headlines and using social media as the main source of news, significantly decreases the likelihood of believing credible and real news stories. Finally, this study offers theoretical and empirical background to frame the debate about factors that influence the believability of fake news headlines by contributing and extending the theorization of the amplification hypothesis.
本研究调查了社交媒体“假新闻”和假治疗标题对网民如何看待和应对尼日利亚COVID-19大流行的影响。利用在线调查(N=254)的数据,这项研究表明,社交媒体绝对是新闻消费中使用最多的媒体类型,也是有关疫情的最重要新闻来源。数据进一步显示,大量接触有关大流行的假新闻标题的影响是危险的,可能产生有害影响。至关重要的是,本研究发现,回忆和相信虚假新闻标题以及使用社交媒体作为新闻的主要来源,显著降低了相信可信和真实新闻故事的可能性。最后,本研究通过贡献和扩展放大假设的理论化,为关于影响假新闻标题可信度的因素的辩论提供了理论和实证背景。

With the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, misinformation and unscientific interpretations flooded the internet. Seeking credible information in Egypt was paramount at the time. An answer to this quest was ‘Ask Nameesa’, an award-winning Egyptian-focused chatbot that utilizes Facebook Messenger to communicate with social media users in an individualized response engagement. It relies on information validated by WHO and the Egyptian Ministry of Health. This article examines the structure of Ask Nameesa as an example of infobots and studies the interactive engagement it offers users to provide health information. The study analyses data gathered by interviewing the founder and CEO of DXwand, the company that developed Ask Nameesa as well as content analysis of conversations with Ask Nameesa to assess its user engagement. The study aims at understanding the potential Ask Nameesa has in providing information literacy and tackling public demand for information.

Is we they? A cross-cultural study of responses to COVID-19 updates in Uganda, Kenya and Rwanda 我们是他们吗?乌干达、肯尼亚和卢旺达应对COVID-19最新情况的跨文化研究

This article delineates the material relations, routines and sensorial responses inhabited by people in Uganda, Kenya and Rwanda during the first wave of the coronavirus pandemic. It grounds views on a discourse of behavioural change while exploring how Ugandans, Kenyans and Rwandans responded to COVID-19 messages populated on selected official government Twitter accounts. The article is a mixed methods study that employs a numeric and discursive analytic approach, with the nudge theory proving particularly congenial. Findings show that a civic nationalism was enunciated in the hinterland. The nomenclature evoked in the wake of enforcing pandemic restrictive measures is both politically and socially repressive. Far from presuming fixed identities, the conceptual thread that is knit together during the pandemic oscillates from broad support to a problem of behavioural fatigue.
本文描述了第一波冠状病毒大流行期间乌干达、肯尼亚和卢旺达人民的物质关系、日常生活和感官反应。它在探讨乌干达、肯尼亚和卢旺达人如何回应特定政府官方推特账户上发布的COVID-19信息的同时,对行为改变的论述提出了看法。这篇文章是一个混合方法的研究,采用了数值和话语分析的方法,与轻推理论证明特别适合。调查结果表明,在内地,一种公民民族主义被明确地表达出来。在执行大流行病限制措施之后所引起的命名在政治上和社会上都是压制性的。大流行期间编织在一起的概念线索远非假设固定的身份,而是在广泛支持和行为疲劳问题之间摇摆不定。

Far from presuming fixed identities, the conceptual thread that is knit together during the pandemic oscillates from broad support to a problem of\u0000 behavioural fatigue.","PeriodicalId":43702,"journal":{"name":"Journal of African Media Studies","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89602108","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The arrival of the coronavirus pandemic in (West) Africa announced a health crisis that required increasing levels of care, on the physical as well as on the emotional level. At the same time, societies had to respect social distancing rules that impeded regular care relationships. This article analysed social media as one means for West African-diasporic actors to practice care in this situation of physical immobility. It is based on a critical discourse analysis of postings on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and WhatsApp. This analysis showed that West African-diasporic actors used social media to perform emotional practices of care through informing on COVID-19-related issues, raising awareness and encouraging compliance with anti-COVID-19 measures. In addition, these practices of care unveil negotiations of sociopolitical power relations that oscillate between opportunities for solidarity and sociopolitical change, on the one hand, and intersectional exclusions, on the other hand.
冠状病毒大流行在(西非)非洲的到来宣布了一场健康危机,需要在身体和情感层面上提高护理水平。与此同时,社会必须尊重阻碍正常护理关系的社会距离规则。本文分析了社交媒体作为西非散居演员在这种身体不动的情况下实践护理的一种手段。它基于对Facebook、Twitter、LinkedIn和WhatsApp上帖子的批判性话语分析。该分析表明,西非散居行为者通过通报与covid -19相关的问题、提高认识和鼓励遵守抗covid -19措施,利用社交媒体开展情感关怀实践。此外,这些关怀的实践揭示了社会政治权力关系的谈判,这种关系一方面在团结和社会政治变革的机会之间摇摆,另一方面在交叉排斥之间摇摆。
