This edited volume explores the practices of health and science journalists covering conflicts, displacement, and global pandemics amid evolving media landscapes and new communication technologies. Contributors highlight shared challenges like funding cuts, public mistrust, and online harassment.

This edited volume explores the evolving practices and essential role of health and science journalists as they cover topics like conflict, displacement, and global pandemics. Amid a changing media landscape and new communication technologies, journalists in various countries report facing similar key challenges, stressors, and threats to professionalism. Contributors identify and explore these shared challenges, including funding cuts, unrealistic expectations for productivity, public mistrust and disregard for facts, and increasingly polarized coverage, and they note that these challenges are further intensified for journalists living and working in the Global South. Factors like the COVID-19 pandemic and geopolitical conflict continue to disrupt economic and social systems and increase global inequities, including health outcomes, making the role of health and science journalists more crucial than ever. Contributors to this volume provide diverse perspectives and methodologies across a spectrum of communities and regions, unpacking the numerous roles that journalists and media organizations play during crises with chapters investigating topics including newsroom experiences, perceived influences on their professional identities, and the use of AI in journalism. Ultimately, this book illustrates the dramatic changes and new challenges to health and science journalism in the twenty-first century and highlights the resilience and adaptability of these journalists as they navigate unprecedented challenges to inform the public. Scholars of journalism, communication, public health, sociology, and political science will find this book of particular interest.

Recenzijas

I am very impressed with the new book, Health and Science Journalism in the 21st Century: Emerging Practices during Crises edited by Sayyed Fawad Ali Shah and Tamar Ginossar. The book clearly describes the crucial roles that journalism performs in disseminating relevant health information to key publics, especially during health crises, while also carefully examining major communication challenges faced by journalists. Given the experience of serious communication problems that emerged during the COVID global pandemic, the chapter authors examine the powerful problematic influences that partisan politics had on the framing of health and science information by different news sources that ultimately transformed the pandemic into an infodemic! The sharing of misinformation, disinformation, and conspiracy theories frequently distorted the presentation of relevant health and science information. The same kinds of difficult communication issues challenged media coverage of many other health crises, including the dissemination of important information about climate change, vaccination, nutrition, floods, and wildfires! The book not only identifies these problems but also suggests how to overcome these communication challenges by applying key principles of media ethics, health and media literacy, fact-checking, collaboration, and multi-channel dissemination of relevant health and science information. I highly recommend this book to all those who are interested in media, journalism, communication, public health, and effective responses to public health crises! * Gary L. Kreps, Professor of Communication, George Mason University, USA *
