Abstract
- "Miscommunicating the COVID-19 Pandemic: An Asian Perspective" is a book that examines the infodemic, the rapid spread of false information about COVID-19, in Asia. The authors, led by Ran Wei, explore the emergence and diffusion of misinformation, the public's exposure to and sharing of misinformation, the consequences of exposure to misinformation, and the public's reaction to combat misinformation. The book also discusses the importance of human rights and culture in shaping individuals' responses to the infodemic. It provides valuable insights for researchers, students, policymakers, and stakeholders interested in public health crises. [Extracted from the article]
