This comprehensive book delves into the intricate phenomenon of distortion of information through media, particularly in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. It explores the various ways in which relevant information has been distorted and spread, highlighting the impact of misinformation, disinformation, fake news, and conspiracy theories on public understanding and decision-making.
Author Brian H. Spitzberg posits that these forms of distortion of information through media (DIM) are interconnected and can only be fully understood through a multilevel theoretical model that considers message-based factors, individual differences, social network-based factors, societal factors, and geotechnical factors. By developing an integrative framework that encompasses these diverse aspects, Spitzberg provides a robust foundation for addressing these critical issues.
The book offers a valuable model for further research across a wide range of disciplines, including communication, journalism/media studies, political science, sociology, cognitive psychology, social psychology, evolutionary psychology, public health, big data analytics, social network analytics, computational linguistics, and geographic information sciences. It appeals to researchers and students interested in exploring the complex dynamics of information distortion and its implications for society.
In conclusion, this book is a crucial contribution to the field of media studies, providing a comprehensive and insightful analysis of the phenomenon of distortion of information through media in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. It offers valuable insights and a framework for addressing these issues, making it a valuable resource for researchers and students alike.
