Abstract

Present world is information-driven. News, information, facts, figures, data are the few terms which are pedalling the wheels of the present life and human being too. The digitalisation has transformed the media in different ways. Apart from the traditional media platforms like radio, newspaper, magazines, and television, the new and speedy news delivery platforms has made the information accessible in a few seconds. The online platform like Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, WhatsApp, and various other social media, has transformed the people behaviour and expectations. Now the information can be accessed, obtained anytime and anywhere. Media has played a tremendous part in Covid times too. It has helped to spread the information about this deadly infectious very quickly. Almost every media platform is bombarded with ample information regarding Covid updates like new cases, deaths, number of tests conducted, recovery rates, precautions to be followed, etc. People tend to believe every piece of information coming their way. It has been difficult to differentiate that which chunk of information is to be trusted and which is fake. This paper has presented the respondents' sentiment regarding the information which they have come across Covid times. The qualitative analysis has been conducted using NVIVO 12 to extract the respondents' viewpoint about the exaggeration of media on coronavirus disease.

媒体扩散与信息可信度：基于NVIVO的COVID-19恐惧生成的定性分析

当今世界是信息驱动的。新闻、信息、事实、数字、数据是推动当今生活和人类车轮的少数术语。数字化以不同的方式改变了媒体。除了广播、报纸、杂志和电视等传统媒体平台外，新的快速新闻传递平台使信息在几秒钟内即可访问。Instagram、Twitter、Facebook、WhatsApp和其他各种社交媒体等在线平台改变了人们的行为和期望。现在，信息可以随时随地访问、获取。媒体在新冠肺炎时代也发挥了巨大作用。它有助于迅速传播有关这种致命传染病的信息。几乎每个媒体平台都充斥着关于新冠肺炎疫情的大量信息，如新病例、死亡人数、检测次数、康复率、应遵循的预防措施等。人们往往相信每一条信息都会到来。很难区分哪些信息块是可信的，哪些是假的。本文介绍了受访者对他们在新冠肺炎时代遇到的信息的看法。使用NVIVO12进行了定性分析，以提取受访者对媒体夸大冠状病毒疾病的看法。
