信息疫情: 新冠肺炎疫情谣言传播及应对研究

目的/意义“信息疫情”是当前影响全球经济社会发展的另一种“大流行”。区别于病毒疫情，“信息疫情”不仅是关于传染病错误和虚假信息的传播，更牵涉到不良情绪的规模化传染。设计/方法通过理论演绎和案例分析，将“信息疫情”划分为四个类型：不确定的“疫”与惊恐、被道德化的“疫”与怨怼、被苦难化的“疫”与同情疲劳、被误读的“疫”与戏谑。结论/发现时空媒介化、病毒网络化、公众情感化是催生“信息疫情”的主要原因。当下，“信息疫情”已成为与重大突发公共卫生事件相伴生的新常态，这要求我们将“信息”“疫”“情”进行联动性地思考，织密织牢常态化疫情防控信息安全网。

How to fight an infodemic

[Purpose/Significance] “Infodemic” involves two kinds of pandemic affecting the global economic and social development. Different from the traditional epidemic, “infodemic” is not only about the spread of misinformation and disinformation of infectious diseases, but also involves the large-scale spread of bad emotions. [Design/Methodology] Through theoretical deduction and case analysis, “infodemic” can be divided into four types: uncertain “epidemic” and panic, moralized “epidemic” and resentment, suffering “epidemic” and sympathy fatigue, and misunderstood “epidemic” and joke . [Conclusions/Findings] Spatiotemporal mediatization, virus networking and public emotionalization are the main reasons for the emergence of “infodemic”. At present, “infodemic” has become a new normal accompanied by major public health emergencies, which requires us to think about information, epidemic and emotion in a linkage way, to service the epidemic prevention and control.
