Description

While various companies have been significantly affected by the spread of COVID-19, activities of the TV media, which are to provide information and entertainment to people, have also been severely constrained. However, new ideas taking advantage of the constraint were born to maintain reporting situations of the pandemic and society. When fake news and false information spreading on the internet make people worried, the credibility of the mass media becomes significant. In some cases, the damages caused by rumors afflict specific industries, so how to protect privacy of subjects needs to be considered. Disasters during the pandemic put the victim in a “double suffering“ situation, so special care is required when covering them. Anxiety caused by invisible factors destroys social connections. For example, it may cause unfair　punishment for certain visible people.The mass media needs to be careful not to create such an　atmosphere. The mass media should consider how the audience receives information and　imagine how it affects their minds. By doing so, they can convey constructive messages.
