“…These are sponsored by digital environments that are able to reach vast amounts of the population, and when championed by specific individual profiles, capture a flow of communication that runs parallel to the formal discourse of the media [8]. This phenomenon breaks the traditional study or classification of the information sources in emergency communication situations [9], adding new mediators to the communication scenario. These, when legitimized by the public in general and the digital context in particular, forcefully rise up due to the trust and impact they create.…”

An increased use of social networks is one of the most far-reaching consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. Aside from the traditional media, as the main drivers of social communication in crisis situations, individual profiles have emerged supported by social networks, which have had a similar impact to the more specialized communication media. This is the hypothesis of the research presented, which is focused on health communication and based on a virtual ethnography methodology with the use of social metrics. The aim is to understand the relationship established between the population in general and digital media in particular through the measurement of engagement. In this regard, a comparative study was carried out that describes this phenomenon over a period of six months on three social networks: YouTube, Twitter and Instagram, with a sample composed of specialized health media versus healthcare professionals. The results point to a new communications model that opens up a new space for agents whose content has a degree of engagement comparable to and even exceeding that of digital media specialized in health communication. The conclusions show that the crisis of the pandemic has accelerated the transformation of the communication sector, creating new challenges for the communication industry, media professionals, and higher education institutions related to market demands.

The case study was the methodology selected to look at this phenomenon, using document analysis (qualitative and quantitative) as main data gathering method. News from six media-Público, Jornal de Notícias, Diário do Minho, Correio do Minho, ComUM and RUM-and the communication messages made public by the University were collected and examined. The research showed an alignment between the news coverage and the UMinho messages. This is a phenomenon mentioned in the 'best practices' of crisis communication, but it raises some concerns. Does the information quality in the public space rely on the alignment of the actors involved in the news process or on the debate and the exercise of the contradictory? Here is a discussion that should bring together the fields of Journalism and Strategic Communication.
