Description 191-196
Information dissemination during the COVID-19 pandemic period
was a challenging task. There was a lot of misinformation
circulated through social media. The pandemic has badly affected
the print sector, and most magazines either stopped publication or
shifted to digital mode. One of the premier science magazines
published in India, Science Reporter, has brought out issues in the
digital format even during the pandemic lockdown. In the present
study, we analyse the content related to COVID-19 published in
the magazine for disseminating scientific information to the
public. The study showed that the magazine carried forty-three
articles related to COVID in 16 issues published during 2020-
2021. The study also showed a spurt in popular science writing
from the members of the scientific community.
