Abstract

This essay traces the impact of the Corona pandemic during 2020–21 and issues related to stigma, prejudices, marginalization as well as virulent forms of social inequality that arose thereafter. Social distancing fortified boundary maintenance on social, economic and even ethnic lines. The role of media during the spread of the Corona pandemic left a lot to be desired, especially in the portrayal of the marginalised groups. Had it acted responsibly, not only would the world have been able to grasp the do’s and don’ts pertaining to precautions with due diligence, the world would have been more harmonious and many fatalities could perhaps have been avoided.
媒体报道和冠状病毒引起的突发卫生事件:了解印度的偏见、耻辱和社会不平等
本文追溯了2020 - 2021年冠状病毒大流行的影响,以及此后出现的与耻辱、偏见、边缘化以及有害形式的社会不平等有关的问题。保持社会距离加强了社会、经济甚至种族界限的维护。在冠状病毒大流行传播期间,媒体的作用还有很多需要改进的地方,特别是在描绘边缘化群体方面。如果它采取负责任的行动,不仅世界能够掌握与尽职调查有关的预防措施的该做和不该做的事情,世界也会更加和谐,许多死亡事件也许可以避免。
