Abstract

"Crisis Communication Case Studies on COVID-19: Multidimensional Perspectives and Applications" is an edited volume that provides concrete examples of how the COVID-19 pandemic caused crises and how they were addressed at different levels. The book is divided into sections based on the approach of each case study, such as individual, organizational, community and regional, and national and international. The chapters cover a wide range of topics, including journalism, parenting, social media, political rhetoric, indigenous publics, the NFL, and health professionals. The book also emphasizes the importance of addressing issues of diversity in crisis communication. While the chapters provide empirical support for their findings, the reviewer suggests that more emphasis could be placed on the actions of individuals in navigating the crisis. Overall, the book is seen as a valuable resource for understanding the impact of the pandemic and the role of crisis communication. [Extracted from the article]
