“…The terms "digital" and "online" media coverage were used interchangeably to encompass all news content accessible online. This includes content from online newspapers, news websites, social media, and mobile applications (Johnson, 2015). Specifically, we contrast narratives from athletes' social media posts with narratives from other digital news sources.…”

This monograph analyzes online coverage and social media posts from five professional athletes—Simone Biles, Serena Williama, Naomi Osaka, Chloe Kim, and Gracie Gold—to sheds light on the journalistic and individual narratives around athletes, performance, goals as these intersect with mental health. Online news and entertainment media’s general representation of athletes frequently emphasizes victory with a focus on outcomes, often overshadowing the athletes’ well-being. Using social identity and framing theories, the study identifies narratives in social and online media, emphasizing the storytelling components related to mental health, as well as what athletes express as potential causes of the mental health issues they are experiencing, especially intense competition, physical condition, media pressure, and a general lack of mental health awareness in sports. The study’s examination of how athletes use their social media platforms to help journalists craft their stories offers a deeper understanding of their mental health stories beyond the basic win-or-lose narrative. We advocate for a paradigm shift, urging recognition of athletes as individuals with vulnerabilities who deserve supportive environments.

“…Traditional media can be considered as any form of mass communication that was available before the advent of digital media. It has been widely used to distribute disaster information before the 21st century (Johnson, 2015). Currently, dedicated mobile applications and social media have become the most efficient and popular in terms of emergency response and disaster information-sharing platforms globally (Shehara et al , 2019a).…”

Purpose The current National Early Warning System for Sri Lanka (NEWS: SL) was established after the devastations of the Indian Ocean Tsunami in 2004. Although early warning (EW) systems and evacuation procedures are in place, several areas which need improvements have been emphasized in recent studies carried out in the country. Therefore, this paper aims to outline the gaps in existing EW and EP related to tsunami and other coastal hazards with a special focus on the use of social media for disaster communication based on age groups. Design/methodology/approach This study has drawn on a review of past studies carried out by the same research team to identify the scope of the study. In addition to that, a conceptual framework was developed for the use of social media in the event of a disaster. Based on this conceptual framework, an online questionnaire was administered to identify the current status of the use of social media in Sri Lanka during a disaster situation. In total, 408 responses were collected and analyzed using the binary logistic regression method to evaluate the variation of different predictors associated with the use of social media for disaster communication. Findings Findings of the study revealed that the use of social media for disaster communication depends on the previous experience of users and their age. The gender of users does not affect the use of social media for disaster communication. Therefore, the accuracy and timeliness of disaster information distributed via social media should be improved further to enhance the use of social media for disaster communication. Moreover, the findings have highlighted unaddressed issues in areas such as governance; communication of technical agencies; evacuation and shelters; and response of the community. Originality/value This paper has identified key areas that need attention in the process of enhancing the use of social media for disaster communication. More use of technological platforms such as social media for receiving disaster-related information can address issues such as bottlenecks in communication, poor awareness and lack of last-mile dissemination. Furthermore, this paper has proposed recommendations for addressing the identified gaps in the overall EW mechanisms and EP pertaining to tsunamis and other coastal hazards to enhance the coastal disaster resilience in Sri Lanka.
