摘要

数字媒体为非专业人员有效地参与有关重要科学和卫生问题的新闻、信息和辩论开辟了大量途径。然而,它们也成为各种利益相关者传播错误信息和虚假信息的肥沃土壤,激发不文明的讨论,并产生不知情的危险公共决策。在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间,反疫苗社交媒体账户在网上激增,有可能进一步加剧对疫苗接种的犹豫。这场大流行不仅标志着一场全球健康危机,而且已被证明是一场以许多阴谋论为特征的信息大流行。先前的研究表明,相信与健康有关的阴谋论会损害遏制病毒传播的努力。本文介绍并审查了斐济Facebook论坛上流传的与COVID-19疫苗相关的错误信息的初步研究结果。

COVID-19 vaccine online misinformation in Fiji: Preliminary findings
Digital media, opens a vast array of avenues for lay people to effectively engage with news, information and debates about important science and health issues. However, they have also become a fertile ground for various stakeholders to spread misinformation and disinformation, stimulate uncivil discussions and engender ill-informed, dangerous public decisions. During the COVID-19 pandemic, antivaccination social media accounts are proliferating online, threatening to further escalate vaccine hesitancy. The pandemic signifies not only a global health crisis, it has also proven to be an infodemic characterised by many conspiracy theories. Prior research indicates that belief in health-related conspiracies can harm efforts to curtail the spread of a virus. This article presents and examines preliminary research findings on COVID-19 vaccine related misinformation being circulated on Fijian Facebook Forums.

期刊介绍: While one objective of Pacific Journalism Review is research into Pacific journalism theory and practice, the journal has also expanding its interest into new areas of research and inquiry that reflect the broader impact of contemporary media practice and education. A particular focus is on the cultural politics of the media, including the following issues: new media and social movements, indigenous cultures in the age of globalisation, the politics of tourism and development, the role of the media and the formation of national identity and the cultural influence of New Zealand as a branch of the global economy within the Pacific region. It also has a special interest in climate change, environmental and development studies in the media and communication and vernacular media in the region.
