“Panic in the Streets”: Historical Reflections on Fear-Based Media Messaging During Acute Public Health Crises

| WEBINAR
Tri-Institutional Events (at MSK & WCM), Other Tri-Institutional Events
In public health, fear-based campaigns are regarded (rightly so) with caution and concern because their side effects of stigma and scapegoating can be so toxic. Those worries have been shaped by an awareness of the formidable power of mass media (newspapers, radio, TV) and now the “new” social media to amplify public health messaging in unexpected and undesirable ways. In this talk, Dr. Tomes will present a brief history of what she terms the “panic problem” in U.S. American public health practice to stimulate a discussion of those questions: how do we motivate people to act in a public health crisis without inducing some degree of fear? Is there a place for healthy fear in public health messaging today and if so, what would it look like?
Nancy Tomes, Ph.D., Distinguished Professor of History, Stony Brook University
