Answer:
The outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has created a global health crisis that has had a deep impact on the way we perceive our world and our everyday lives. Not only the rate of contagion and patterns of transmission threatens our sense of agency, but the safety measures put in place to contain the spread of the virus also require social distancing by refraining from doing what is inherently human, which is to find solace in the company of others. Within this context of physical threat, social and physical distancing, as well as public alarm, what has been (and can be) the role of the different mass media channels in our lives on individual, social and societal levels?
Mass media have long been recognized as powerful forces shaping how we experience the world and ourselves. This recognition is accompanied by a growing volume of research, that closely follows the footsteps of technological transformations (e.g. radio, movies, television, the internet, mobiles) and the zeitgeist (e.g. cold war, 9/11, climate change) in an attempt to map mass media major impacts on how we perceive ourselves, both as individuals and citizens. Are media (broadcast and digital) still able to convey a sense of unity reaching large audiences, or are messages lost in the noisy crowd of mass self-communication? Do social media provide solace or grounds for misinformation, (de)humanization, and discrimination? Can we harness the flexibility and ubiquity of media technologies to increase the public's adherence to the safety measures suggested by global health organizations to combat the spread of COVID-19? How can different media industries and channels for mass communication promote adaptive responses to foster positive health attitudes and adherence to preventive measures? How media impact the dynamics in the private domain (e.g. strengthen family bonds versus domestic conflict and violence)?
Within this ample framework of complexity, we welcome research addressing media impact and its role during the COVID-19 pandemic, in the following subtopics:
• Effective health communication for the adoption of sustainable preventive measures and curtailing misinformation;
• Public health communication to increase psychological resources and resilience in distinct age groups and socioeconomic conditions;
• Effective strategies for helping individuals in dealing with social and physical distancing;
• Reduction of stigma, prejudice, discrimination, and inequalities.
Type of articles may include Brief Research Report, Community Case Study, Data Report, Original Research, Systematic Review.

Explanation:
The world is facing coronavirus pandemic, which is enormous
and dangerous. It is one of the deadliest crises the world has
faced over the years. The virus has set its foot in nearly 210
countries around the world. This invisible virus has taken
numerous innocent lives and there is no stop to it. Meanwhile, many have even recovered from the deadly virus.
In this trying and testing times, the world should come together as a ‘global village,’ and we
should empathize with each other. We should abide by our government rules and regulations and especially stay indoors during the lockdown as then only will be able to contribute in containing the pandemic.
However, what we are witnessing at most places is the complete opposite of empathy and
solidarity.
In several countries, Chinese nationals’ and people of Asian descent face xenophobic
attacks worldwide due to the coronavirus pandemic. There is an increase in the number of
cases reported of hostility and discrimination. In India too, ‘Chinese-looking’ Indians are
targeted in racist attacks. Recently, a woman from Manipur alleged that a man spat on her
and called her ‘Corona’ in Delhi.
This heinous and awful act is not only proof of racism but also highlights the enormity of
hate imbibed in some people’s minds. In another incident, an Asian woman was harassed
in Australia. It is an unfortunate reality that racism against people of Asian descent has
reached a peak amidst the pandemic outbreak. Acts of kindness and empathy tie us
together but incidents like these put a stain on society and tear our unity apart.
However, on a brighter side, people across the world are expressing their gratitude uniquely towards frontline workers like doctors, nurses, police personnel, and many others.
Essay Topic: The current crisis is showing the best
and the worst of humanity. Will a new form of solidarity emerge at the end of the tunnel or do you think on
the contrary that previous trends of the last few years
(e.g. increasing nationalisms) will be enhanced?
They are working day and night, and risking their lives in an attempt to save us all. Acts like
these are what bind us together and prove that good wins over evil, after all.
