Intertekstualnost i intermedijalnost internetskih medijskih sadržaja o virusu COVID-19

Abstract

Mediji su 2020. godinu počeli različitim nagađanjima o proročanstvima o virusu COVID-19, najavljenima kroz film i roman pa čak i Bibliju. Nisu se libili poistovjetiti posljedice kuge s onima od virusa COVID-19 čime su potaknuli različite rasističke i ksenofobne ispade u komentarima čitatelja. U ovom radu je kroz aspekt intertekstualnosti i intermedijalnosti opisana situacija u svjetskom medijskom prostoru tijekom pandemije COVID-19. Intenzivno korištenje intertekstualnosti i intermedijalnosti uzrokovano je zadovoljavanjem potreba publike da kroz povezivanje poznatih i novih sadržaja smanji strah od nepoznatoga i familijarizira se s novim pojmovima i novim situacijama. Prevelika količina nepoznanica koja je postojala osobito početkom pandemije morala se nadomjestiti ranijim iskustvima kako bi publika lakše usvojila željene obrasce ponašanja. Nakon što su obrasci ponašanja usvojeni, počinju se koristiti i u komercijalne svrhe.

The Role of Social Networks/Media Use in the Acceptance of Anti-Vaccination Content

“…Endorsement of antivaccination content on social networks/media is positively associated with social distrust, while distrust in the government predicts a higher probability of endorsement of conspiracy theory beliefs (Mulukom, 2020). Such findings can be summed up in the metaphorical description of the role of social networks/media as "windows into the society" (Šušnjara and Vejić, 2021;Tkalec and Kocijan, 2021), which is especially noticeable since the beginning of the pandemic.…”

“…Results indicated preferences for social network platforms as the main source of information when searching about COVID-19, but also showed that participants who used social networks, internet blogs/forums, and friends/acquaintances as their sources of information had a higher probability of being unvaccinated (Mascherini and Nivakovski, 2022). Social media as the main source of information was also highlighted in analyzed theoretical papers which referred to social media as "windows into the society" during the pandemic (Šušnjara and Vejić, 2021;Tkalec and Kocijan, 2021).…”

“…To highlight the most important findings of the papers, it can be said that the analyzed papers refer to social networks/media as the main source of (health) information during the pandemic (De Giorgio 2022; Pavić et al, 2022;Smith et al, 2022;Kurelović, 2021). The importance of social networks/media in the COVID-19 context was especially highlighted in the metaphor "windows into the society" (Šušnjara and Vejić, 2021;Tkalec and Kocijan, 2021). This has been more evident during the lockdowns, when most activities and interactions shifted online when all activities and major gatherings were restricted due to the formal epidemic measures.…”

“…Additionally, findings of the literature review show that social network/media features were not the focus of any research specifically. Although they are not the main focus of any research, the findings of a few papers point to the interpretation and reflection on the characteristics of social networks (Zeman et al, 2022;Tkalec and Kocijan, 2021). Such findings indicate the importance of further assessment of the impact of social network/media features regarding the acceptance of anti-vaccination content.…”
