Confronting Coronavirus Propaganda

All around the world, people encountered a variety of different types of informative and persuasive messages about the ongoing coronavirus pandemic that helped them make wise decisions about their health behavior or that hindered the quality of their decision making. We use content analysis of a sample of 88 coronavirus propaganda artifacts available on the Mind Over Media platform, identifying how it appeals to audience needs and values, activates emotions, attacks opponents, and simplifies ideas and information. The use of crowdsourced online content for media literacy education may ensure that classroom discussions are relevant to the zeitgeist of the times, and it also offers learners and teachers the opportunity for comparative examination and analysis of media content curated from their peers from around the world.
