The Role of Social Media in the Dissemination of Information and Communication during the Period of the Corona Virus Disease Epidemic in Cameroon
Journal Title: International Journal of Social Science And Human Research - Year 2024, Vol 7, Issue 09
Abstract
Social media platforms are being used more and more by the general public as a means of disseminating information between people. The outbreak of the corona virus disease mobilized researchers in a variety of disciplines, as well as the governments of the countries affected by the pandemic. The digital media have played an important role not only in disseminating information, but also in communicating about the contamination, the spread and the preventive measures against this pandemic. This study, based on social science research methods and techniques, shows that social media have played a significant role in disseminating information about the pandemic. The supply and demand for information took on a dizzying pace, helping to warn people about this new disease. Social media have helped to spread information about the corona virus as quickly as possible, but they have also enabled people to learn about the disease, the risks involved and how to prevent it, all of which is helping national governments with their public health programs.
