”Kun talo on tulessa, on keskustelua vaikea käydä”: Tapaustutkimus informaatioresilienssin ilmaantumisesta koronapandemian aikana

“When the house is on fire, it is difficult to have a conversation” – Case study on the emergence of information resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic Resilience refers to the ability of people, organizations, or societies to cope with disturbances or crises. This research focuses on information resilience as a specific information-related form of resilience, and on the different ways it has emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic in the Finnish context. The data consist of articles on pandemic governance. The data were analyzed using abductive content analysis. The results indicate that systemic information resilience has emerged more strongly than agent-level information resilience which reinforces the importance of systemic understanding considering both resilience and preparedness. The current research also finds that information resilience is not a linear process but a circulating and emerging phenomenon that requires continuous development before, during and after crises.
