Covid-19 Voices in Finnish News Media in the Global Context : A Comparative Study of News Media’s Roles in Pandemic Communications and Public Perceptions across Six Countries
This project investigated issues pertaining to COVID-19 related communications by different social actors, such as governments, news media, health authorities, experts, business organizations, and their impact on the general public’s attitudes and behaviours. It sheds some light into the news media’s role during pandemics, thus exploring the extent by which news media contributed to specific understandings of the COVID-19 pandemic by their journalistic choices of issues, tone, and crisis narratives. This project is comparative in nature, including data on public perceptions across six countries (Australia, Finland, Italy, South Korea, Sweden, and USA) and news media analyses of two countries’ main news outlets (Finland and Sweden). Tämä projekti tutki eri COVID-19-pandemiaan yhteiskunnallisissa rooleissa toimivien tahojen, kuten hallituksen, uutismedioiden, terveysviranomaisten, asiantuntijoiden, liike-elämän organisaatioiden, vaikutusta yleisön asenteisiin ja käyttäytymiseen. Projektin tutkimusraportti tuo esiin eri näkökulmia liittyen uutismedioiden rooliin pandemian aikana, esitellen muun muassa, miten uutismedioiden sisällöt ja journalistiset valinnat johtivat COVID-19-pandemian aihevalintaa, uutisoinnin sävyä sekä kriisikerrontaa. Tutkimusprojekti on ollut luonteeltaan vertaileva. Projektin raportti sisältää tietoa vertailevan tutkimuksen havainnoista kuudessa eri maassa (Australia, Suomi, Italia, Etelä-Korea, Ruotsi ja USA) sekä uutismedioiden analyyseja kahden maan pääuutislähteistä (Suomi ja Ruotsi).
