The purpose of this article is to study the lived experience of the journalists’ interpersonal and social communication quality. Due to the implementation of preventive measures during the outbreak of Corona, the special characteristics of human life affected the individuals’ communication in different ways and created novel experiences through new changes in the daily life and human interactions. The journalists with the highest level of human communication were selected as the statistical population. This article uses the interpretive phenomenology and the semi-structured interview method in order to understand the deep meaning of these experiences. The study field of the research includes the journalists in Tehran, and the sample selection continued until the theoretical saturation of the data with 21 journalists. Finally, the open, central and selective coding was done based on analyzing the interviews to identify the related categories and concepts to the role of preventive measures in the journalists’ interpersonal and social communications; two categories were counted in interpersonal communications including “challenge in personal and family relationships” and “mental and psychological changes” and three categories were realized in social communications including “challenge in social interactions and distance from society”, “challenge in mutual social understanding” and “reduction in social cohesion”. The findings indicate that there has been a “reverse turn” in the journalists’ interpersonal and social communications compared to the normal condition and has actually generated serious challenges for the journalists in terms of interpersonal and social relations.

One of the very important consequences of the Corona epidemic was the intensification of social stratification and the reproduction of social inequality through the stability or instability of employment. Many jobs have been affected by the conditions of the corona disease and have had different experiences in job stability. Job stability means that the employee can play a role in his job role and use his job capital despite the presence of some pressures. Job stability shows itself in the form of no change in job, increase in working hours, remote work, online sales, business boom, etc. It seems that businesses with higher job capital are more stable and flexible in the face of economic and social crises. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between job capital, job stability and the reproduction of social inequality in the Corona era. For this purpose, an online survey was conducted among Iranian workers and 1250 people were interviewed. The findings show that during the Corona period, businesses that had higher job capital had higher job stability, and were less exposed to job loss and job injury, and in this way, they had an impact on stabilizing and intensifying social inequality.

As the COVID-19 pandemic unfolds, social media platforms have become a primary forum for the expression of a extensive range of thoughts, sentiments, and attitudes. This research examines Persian-language social media content associated with the pandemic to achieve a detailed comprehension of societal behaviors and attitudes amid this extraordinary circumstance. The purpose of this study is to investigate the emerging patterns and behaviors of trust-building within social networks during the COVID-19 crisis.  Sentiment analysis in social networks and the way people share their opinions, views, feelings, and attitudes— through posts, tweets, and other textual content— can shed light on the social patterns of trust towards message sources and news authorities, especially in times of crisis. 

Methods and Data: 

The study conducted a content analysis of social network data through a two-stage clustering method. The clustering findings were scrutinized through the lenses of risk and crisis communication theories, as well as effective communication principles to assess the trust levels within each cluster. 

Given the pivotal importance of a culture of trust in the acceptance or rejection of messages, the trust index was examined across the clusters. The findings indicate that messages disseminated and circulated through Instagram and news websites are considered trustworthy within each cluster. 

The results demonstrate that the dissemination of COVID-19-related information by health authorities can foster positive trust within society. However, the level of trust in the health sector is somewhat lower compared to the socio-cultural sphere. For the dissemination of health-related information, the use of non-political language is recommended. 

Key Message: 

The findings indicate that content shared through Instagram and news platforms proves to be more influential. Additionally, social activists significantly contribute to either strengthening or undermining the audience's trust in content. Understanding the social patterns associated with trust experiences in times of crisis, where contradictory information abounds, is essential. This understanding can offer strategies to manage similar crises and aid to enhance societal resilience.

Analyzing the content of the news and the way it is presented is very important since media can affect public opinion in so many ways. This study is aimed at analyzing the news coverage of the Covid 19 in Iranian written Press to find out about the differences between the ways different news media in Iran cover and report the news about Covid crisis during three time periods, from March to November 2020; and the lexical items that emerged or become frequent in the media after the crisis. The corpus has been built by crawling the websites of 6 main Iranian news media that are believed to be close to the three main political factions of Iran, namely Fundamentalists, Reformists, and Moderates from March to November 2020. The results show that “war” and to be specific, “Imposed War” or “holy defense” act as the nodal point in the discourse of “Corona War” in Iran. Words like sepah (corps), Basij, Jihad, fore front, health defenders, health martyrs, enemy, defeat, etc. are prominent in this discourse. Corona virus is represented as an inauspicious virus that can be used by the enemy against Iran, and Iran must defeat the enemy conspiracy. In this discourse, the words “America” and “Trump” are always very frequent. This representation of “Corona War” in Iran is more emphasized in Fundamentalists newspapers during the first time period in this research. Pre Corona, Post Corona, Corona phobia, are some of the neologisms in Persian after this pandemic.

The corona virus epidemic in Iran, like other countries, led to the closure of schools and implementation of virtual education. Elementary school students needed their parents’ help to use virtual education, especially the first graders who had no experience with school and curriculum. This responsibility was mostly undertaken by mothers, who were supposed to take on the roles of both a teacher and a mother. The narratives of this group of mothers in Kerman City were examined using a qualitative approach and narrative-research method. Data was collected using narrative interviews and analyses were done through a thematic analysis method in MAXQDA. Five main themes were found, which represented the narratives of mothers about the lockdown. These themes were incomplete support of those around you, the burden of the role, the exhaustion of mothers, the problematic nature of children in virtual education, and extra-educational merits.

For a considerable period of time, the covid-19 epidemic has faced many issues with the quality of life of people as well as the performance of society institutions. Iranian researchers have explored the various effects and consequences of this event and have reflected some of their achievements in scientific journals. Knowledge of the achievements of the efforts made will be enlightening from a scientific and practical point of view. In this regard, two goals can be imagined. The first goal is to identify the characteristics of the existing articles in terms of theoretical, methodological and content coordinates, and the second goal is to identify the effects of the Corona crisis on the Iranian society.
Sylvia Walby's concept of crisis has been used as a thinking tool in the analysis of information taken from selected articles. Relying on the systematic review of previous researches, 93 articles related to this topic that were published in social sciences and sociology journals of Iran between 2021 and 2022 were selected and reviewed. The results of the analysis indicate that most of the researches have studied Covid-19 at micro level and with a descriptive (39.8%) and explanatory-consequential (35.9%) approach. Social psychology (19.2 percent) and sociology of religion (14.1 percent) have been in the center of researchers' attention more than other fields.
