ABSTRACT

The chapter consists of three parts. The first one summarises the main themes, topics and methodologies present in the whole collection from the perspective of five dynamics: social, cultural, epidemic and health, political and economic as well as academic. It points out the different perspectives, their connections and complementarity. The second part contains a typology of recommendations collected in the book and additional recommendations formulated by the authors from the perspective of the passing of time, that is, one year after the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. The third part of the analysis presents the opportunities and threats, mainly of an ethical nature, that face media and communication researchers during the pandemic and after its eventual end.
