COVID-19 Deaths on the Digital Media

The COVID-19 pandemic has reached a level that threatens the health of the whole world. This study aimed to prevent misinformation on this subject by examining the death-related dimension of COVID-19 disease. In the study, the internet archive of three newspapers (Sabah, Hürriyet, and Sözcü) with the highest circulation as of October 2020 was searched with the keywords “corona death” and “COVID-19 death.” A total of 120 contents in three newspapers (40 items from each newspaper) were selected by a simple random sampling technique and all of them were subjected to content analysis. As a result, the COVID-19 disease was handled in a panic-inducing manner. This situation reflected the images. The deaths will increase even more in the winter months of 2020. Although there are initiatives regarding vaccination, not all people can benefit equally in the short term. Measures are often emphasized, especially by the Minister of Health. While COVID-19 deaths are increasing all over the world, how are they so low in China? This is a question in the contents.
