The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of NodeXL in the context of news diffusion. Journalists often include a social media dimension in their stories but lack the tools to get digital photos of the virtual crowds about which they write. NodeXL is an easy to use tool for collecting, analysing, visualizing, and reporting on the patterns found in collections of connections in streams of social media. With a network map patterns emerge that highlight key people, groups, divisions and bridges, themes and related resources. Design/methodology/approach: This study conducts a literature review of previous empirical work which has utilised NodeXL and highlights the potential of NodeXL to provide network insights of virtual crowds during emerging news events. It then develops a number of guidelines which can be utlised by news media teams to measure and map information diffusion during emerging news events. Findings: One emergent software application known as NodeXL has allowed journalists to take 'group photos' of the connections among a group of users on social media. It was found that a diverse range of disciplines utilise NodeXL in academic research. Furthermore based on the features of NodeXL a number of guidelines were developed which provide insight into how to measure and map emerging news events on Twitter. Social implications: With a set of social media network images a journalist can cover a set of social media content streams and quickly grasp "situational awareness" of the shape of the crowd. Since social media popular support is often cited but not documented, NodeXL social media network maps can help journalists quickly document the social landscape utilising an innovative approach. Originality/value: This is the first empirical study to review literature on NodeXL, and to provide insight into the value of network visualisations and analytics for the news media domain. Moreover, it is the first empirical study to develop guidelines that will act as a valuable resource for newsrooms looking to acquire insight into emerging news events from the stream of social media posts. In the era of fake news and automated accounts i.e., bots the ability to highlight opinion leaders and ascertain their allegiances will be of importance in today's news climate.

“…Since its inception in 2006, Twitter has established itself as an important tool for communication and increasing number of politicians, media organizations, and journalists continue to use it [Lefky, et al (2015); Jungherr (2015)] for content sharing, public communication, and interpersonal connection [Burgess, et al (2017)]. Like other Western democracies, its usage among Pakistani politicians has also grown since it was first used as an efficient tool for election campaigns in 2013 [Ahmed and Skoric (2014)].…”

The virus that broke out in the Chinese City of Wuhan in December 2019 has swiftly spread around the globe in biblical proportions. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), a staggering 38 million people across more than 210 countries have been infected with Coronavirus, with more than one million succumbing to the deadly disease. COVID-19 has altogether altered the dynamics of the world. It has adversely affected several spheres such as markets, economies, tourism, education, health, governance, national and international affairs, media and reliable information. However, the pandemic and the associated challenges have raised several grey areas for researchers to probe into and interpret for the good of the global community.COVID-19 has not only brought colossal human suffering but also taken a huge toll on global, regional and national economies. The USD 133 Trillion world economy witnessed closure of borders and cities; shutting down of markets, businesses, tourism and hospitability industries, and halting of transport and airlines. The outcome of the great lockdown was the size of the contraction of the world economy not witnessed since the Great Depression of the 1930s.In these challenging times, I am pleased to see the combined efforts of the faculty of NUST School of Social Sciences & Humanities (S3H), who, despite several odds, have endeavoured to analyse the impact of COVID-19 on the socio-economic development of Pakistan. Dr. Farah Naz, the Editor of this entirely informative book; Dr. Ashfaque Hasan Khan, Principal & Dean S3H; and all those who have contributed to this daunting task, deserve our appreciation and indebtedness. The findings of this book will help not only the Government of Pakistan but also other countries in the region and beyond in policymaking with regard to addressing challenges posed by
