Overview

This article explores health communication challenges during COVID-19 and earlier outbreaks, highlighting uncertainty and intermediality issues.

Key Points

  • The shift to many-to-many communication models has complicated health narrative control during outbreaks.
  • Examining three major EID outbreaks reveals recurring themes of uncertainty in health communication.
  • Intermediality theories reveal how gaps in communication networks impact public perception of authority.
  • The concept of ‘liveness’ in health communication may destabilize scientific authority during crises.
