Abstract

ABSTRACT Underpinned by the notion that communication equality is crucial in developing communication infrastructures for health and well-being, this study explores experiences of COVID-19 information retrieving in a low-income suburban area in Aotearoa from a culture-centered lens. Drawing from in-depth interviews with ethnic minority residents, we reveal two polarizing experiences: at one end, residents were confident in the government’s representation of COVID-19 but also fearful and anxious, while at the other end, residents were skeptical of formal institutions and expressed alternative views about COVID-19. The findings illuminate how community distrust is intertwined with communication inequality, which can further entrench and magnify health inequality, informing key recommendations for culturally centering pandemic communications and creating infrastructures to challenge disinformation.

以文化为中心的信息检索:挑战虚假信息的通信基础设施

摘要基于通信平等对发展健康和福祉的通信基础设施至关重要这一概念，本研究从文化中心的角度探讨了在Aotearoa低收入郊区检索新冠肺炎信息的经验。通过对少数民族居民的深入采访，我们揭示了两种两极分化的经历：一端，居民对政府对新冠肺炎的表现充满信心，但也感到恐惧和焦虑，而另一端，居民则对正规机构持怀疑态度，并对新冠肺炎表达了不同的看法。研究结果阐明了社区不信任如何与沟通不平等交织在一起，沟通不平等可能进一步加深和扩大健康不平等，为以文化为中心的疫情沟通提供了关键建议，并创建了挑战虚假信息的基础设施。
