Media and the Coronavirus Pandemic
In collaboration with the Department of Communication and Media at the College of Arts, the Scientific Journal of King Faisal University: Humanities and Management Sciences dedicates an issue to the timely topic of media and the coronavirus pandemic. This topic merits academic attention since the pandemic has engendered a cardinal change that has impacted every country. It is worthy of scholarly investigation to scrutinise how media (their policies and channels) have handled such a change.

Manuscripts should loosely cover the following critical areas:

• The Reciprocal Influence between the Pandemic and Mass Communication
• The Media and their Role in Health Awareness (or Counter-Awareness) during the Pandemic
• Families’ Utilisation of Social Media During the period of Quarantine
