A content analysis of an English Newspaper, The Times of India (the world's largest newspaper by circulation) during the first national lockdown amid the COVID-19 pandemic identified nine different categories culled out from a total of 129 news categories reporting unprecedented COVID-19 stories. Half of them portrayed two sides of a coin: from daily wagers and migrant workers, including internally displaced people (23/129), harassment and stigma (4/129), and crime (3/129) to stressors and coping strategies for middle/upper class individuals (39/129). Reports evidenced increased vulnerability in the lower layers of Indian stratified society. Yet, two years later, the uneven implications on physical and mental health are scarcely studied by scientific researchers.
对《印度时报》(发行量全球最大的英文报纸)在新冠疫情首次全国封锁期间的内容分析,从总共129个报道前所未有的新冠疫情事件的新闻类别中筛选出了9个不同类别。其中一半呈现了事物的两面性:从日薪工人和农民工,包括境内流离失所者(23/129)、骚扰和污名化(4/129)、犯罪(3/129)到中/上层阶级个体的压力源和应对策略(39/129)。报道证明了印度分层社会底层人群的脆弱性增加。然而,两年后,科学研究人员几乎没有对其对身心健康的不均衡影响进行研究。
