“…Previous works use similar methodologies, such as the one proposed by Khan et al (2015), which presents a Framework capable of performing the extraction of tweets from any location and classify the texts between political and non-political classes, besides analyzing the sentiment of the publications, in order to provide an adequate vision about political adversities in any specific analyzed location. Similarly, Chatziadam et al (2020) proposed the TwiFly Framework, with the intention of providing Twitter data analysis. This model is capable of monitoring profiles and ensuring real-time visualization of useful information extracted from the social network.…”

This article examined, through Social Network Analysis (SNA) techniques, the personal profiles of theHeads of Government of countries in South and North America and how they communicated withtheir audiences on institutional measures to contain COVID-19. Analyses were carried out on data collected from Twitter from November 2019 to November 2020. This study includes: i) quantitative analysis, measuring categories and emphases in the communication of tweets, retweets, likes, and comments on matters relevant to the pandemic; ii) qualitative analysis that allowed evaluating speeches to identify political interference and the effectiveness of communication at critical moments of the pandemic. It was possible to infer that each president has his singularities and understanding about Social Media's use as a more direct communication tool with his audience. It was also found that successful communication is not directly proportional to the volume of messages on Twitter, but to socio-political aspects and institutional leadership that can make a difference in Social Media in combating COVID-19. I. INTRODUCTIONThe world is experiencing a challenge of grand proportions, the discovery and a worldwide spread of the Covid-19 virus at the end of 2019 and throughout 2020. This occurrence showed the global fragility of the Health Systems and a communicational difficulty in the face of Disinformation. Social Media has become an open pathway for a flood of fake news propagated mainly on social media. In addition to competing with misinformation on social media, governments deal with an internal difficulty to create disclosure processes consistent with the line of action in fighting the Pandemic. SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 disease provide an opportunity to investigate the consequences of functional fragmentation in government communication when the issues concern public health and pandemic response (ZEEMERING, 2020).According to United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO, 2019), finding ways through contemporary information challenges is of utmost importance for society, including governments, Internet companies, educators and NGOs.

This manuscript introduces a novel framework to extend the accessibility of Twitter users’ timelines to people with disabilities. Our proposed framework is designed with iconic speaker and information functionalities which will enable transcription of multi- media content and provide users the opportunity to read and hear the translated transcripts depending upon the user’s primary language. This work is one of its kind that opens Twitter’s user timeline completely to people with disabilities.
