It provides a comprehensive examination of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on communication theories and offers a glimpse into the potential future of post-industrial societies.

The manuscript spans a wide range of multidisciplinary topics, encompassing consumer behavior, advertising strategies, public relations, blockchain technologies, new education channels, labor economics, disaster politics, health engagement, corporate communication, information systems, streaming services, music reception, reality television, animation, filmmaking, new personality models, and brand-new aesthetic styles. Each essay and article in this collection is meticulously crafted to cater to the needs of academics, researchers, educators, media professionals, entrepreneurs, executives, organizers, scientists, artists, public relations specialists, and students alike. By exploring the complex interplay between media, education, and information, this manuscript aims to enhance understanding of how these structures respond, adapt, or repurpose the new historical conditions brought about by the global crisis.

The post-positivist approach in this collection emphasizes the role of media, education, and information in shaping societal narratives and cultural norms. It recognizes the power of these institutions to influence public opinion, shape policy decisions, and drive social change. Through a multidisciplinary lens, the authors examine how these sectors have responded to the challenges posed by the pandemic, such as misinformation, disinformation, and the need for rapid communication. They also explore the potential opportunities that arise from these disruptions, such as the rise of digital media, the expansion of online education, and the increasing importance of information literacy.

The cultural/interpretative studies in this collection offer a deeper understanding of the social and cultural implications of communication. They explore how individuals and communities interpret and respond to media messages, educational programs, and information sources. By examining the cultural nuances and symbolic meanings associated with communication, the authors shed light on the ways in which these processes shape individual and collective identities. They also examine the role of media, education, and information in perpetuating or challenging dominant narratives, power structures, and social inequalities.

In conclusion, New Communication in the Post-Pandemic Era: Media, Education, and Information is a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the evolving landscape of communication in the post-pandemic era. It offers a comprehensive examination of the latest research and cultural/interpretative studies, providing insights into the complex interplay between media, education, and information. By exploring the potential for paradigm shifts, resistance, adaptation, and repurposing, this manuscript contributes to our understanding of the future of communication and its impact on society.
