This working groups aims to map and identify a range of dominant actors and sources of narrative information about the pandemic crisis. We have collected qualitative data from the communication experts to investigate the network, interaction and collaboration in national and regional level. Retrospective analysis of communication experts perceptions of the pandemic crisis management will reveal the what kinds of sources and communication channels they find trustworthy and accessible. We will also verify the influence of sources amongst diverse public groups through focus groups and interviews with participants.
