Abstract

Media discourse has been at the core of Mass Communication a form of human communication practice on how they talk to one another through non-verbal means, which concerns messages transmitted a medium to reach a large number of people (Devito, 2011). Though the World Health Organization no longer considers the COVID-19 pandemic a global health emergency, it does not mean that it is not a global health threat anymore which is why the media in its discourses should prioritize by finding creative ways to communicate about it.
