[Air-L] coronavirus, misinformation, mental health and online media - resources

[Rueller, Sarah]

Hi again,

I’m feeling torn, don’t mean to spam but I really want to share it: the german government hosts a hackathon, targeting Covid-19. It’s all in German though, but some of you might feel inspired or you guys want to check with your countries.

Sending (socially distant) support hugs in these volatile times,
Sarah

FYI, for those interested in tracking the media narratives around CV19,
we've released two datasets, one for television news and one for online
news, with brief snippets of the mentions and their contexts, to allow for
exploration of how the media narrative has shifted around the disease over
time:

https://blog.gdeltproject.org/a-new-global-dataset-for-exploring-the-coronavirus-narrative-in-worldwide-english-online-news/

The TV dataset has all mentions on 11 stations, while the web dataset has
the first mention in around 1.1 million online articles (English now but
expanding shortly).

Hi all,

Many people in my personal networks are concerned about the things they
are seeing related to COVID-19 (coronavirus) in their social media feeds,
or in parental WhatsApp groups. It occurred to me that a short list of
resources for people to read and/or share might be useful at this time.

I wondered if list members could suggest short, easily digestible,
public-facing resources that provide useful guidance on the
sharing/consumption of misinformation or unverified health advice on social
media and other channels (e.g. WhatsApp). In addition, similarly
short/digestible resources or other advice around the self-care
implications of consuming rolling coverage of the outbreak may well be
useful.

I’d be happy to collaborate with others on pulling the eventual list of
resources together, should any of you be interested in doing that.

Kind regards, and I hope you are all staying safe.
Craig
