A partir da compreensão da pandemia de Covid-19 como trauma global, investigamos como jovens das cinco regiões brasileiras lidam com a crise sanitária e suas consequências, a partir de suas interações com o noticiário.

Para isto, realizamos uma revisão bibliográfica sobre mídia e trauma, letramento midiático e infodemia, e apresentamos os resultados de uma pesquisa online, conduzida nos dois últimos meses de 2020, com a participação de 855 pessoas, entre 15 e 29 anos
