An Analysis of Digital Media Data to Understand Parents’ Concerns During the COVID-19 Pandemic to Enhance Effective Science Communication

Abstract: Science and health journalists have incorporated digital media as a source for their daily news production process, but little is known about the potential impacts of using digital media data to inform the news production process in the context of a global pandemic, where information is rapidly changing.

“…While the former can serve as an important source of communication, the latter may be used to inform consumers of the evolution of the situation and stay relevant. This is in conformity with the findings of the study by Torres et al (2021) in showing the effectiveness of supplementing digital media with traditional ways to provide relevant data and information to families to satisfy their concerns and misconceptions about economic stability, good health and children’s learning and development during the COVID-19 pandemic.…”

“…Estos cambios han permitido que en estas aplicaciones sociales se logren espacios para fomentar el periodismo investigativo (Djerf-Pierre et al, 2019), de chequeo de datos (González Clavero y Rodríguez Bazán, 2021;López-García et al, 2021) o para proponer algún tipo de conceptualización informativa de forma sencilla (Quiñónez-Gómez y Sánchez-Colmenares, 2017). De igual manera, la forma en que se está accediendo a las fuentes es también una de las aristas que han afectado al ejercicio del periodismo científico (Lutz et al, 2018;Guenther y Joubert, 2021;Claassen, 2021) y es así como hoy en día un profesional de la comunicación puede conversar con un científico por medio de una red social, de la misma forma que lo haría a través de una entrevista cara a cara (Torres et al, 2021).…”

“…Por una parte, para algunos expertos no deja de ser complejo el hecho de que los periodistas ya no sean «los únicos árbitros que dictaminan qué es información científica y cómo llega ésta a los públicos» (Weitkamp et al, 2021: 1) e incluso que el surgimiento de las redes haya puesto en riesgo a la industria mediática tradicional (Burch, 2021). De igual manera, la rapidez con la que una información es comunicada en las redes sociales puede afectar al proceso de construcción de una noticia (Torres et al, 2021), por lo que la falta de tiempo, el fomento del clickbait o la lucha ante los trolls que realizan comentarios para descalificar una información son preocupaciones latentes de los periodistas (Lee et al, 2018;Saavedra-Llamas et al, 2019).…”

“…
The COVID-19 pandemic presents many challenges for public communication, including widespread misinformation and political polarisation of SARS-CoV-2 and the COVID-19 vaccine. However, public communication has played a vital role in addressing the challenges (Mani et al, In press;Paek & Hove, 2021;Torres et al, 2021). Since the health emergency was declared, fake news, conspiracy theories and misleading information have been broadly circulated.
