بخشی از متن:Abstract
Purpose – The purpose of this study is to explore the impact of the Covid-19 crisis at the level of individual
information behavior among citizens from the German-speaking countries, Austria, Germany and Switzerland.
Design/methodology/approach – An online survey was conducted among 308 participants gathered
through convenience sampling in April and May 2020, focusing on how citizens changed their mix and usage
intensity of information sources and according to which criteria they chose them during the Covid-19 crisis. A
Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used for testing central tendencies. Effect sizes were considered to support the
interpretation.
Findings – The results show first that the Covid-19 crisis has led to an increased demand for reliable
information. This goes alongside a significant increased use of public broadcasting, newspapers and
information provided by public organizations. Second, the majority (84%) of the participants reported being
satisfied with the information supply during the Covid-19 crisis. Participants who were less satisfied with the
information supply used reliable sources significantly less frequently, specifically public television, national
newspapers and information provided by public organizations. Third, the amount of Covid-19-related
information led some participants to a feeling of information overload, which resulted in a reduction of
information seeking and media use.
Originality/value – This paper is one of the first to analyze changes of information behavior patterns of
individuals during crises in the current information environment, considering the diversity of resources used
by individuals.
