Use of Satire, Music, and Comedy for Sharing COVID-19 Information on Social Media by Nigeria Undergraduates

Communication is significant to human existence, survival, and sustainability. Various mass communication media are preferably used by people to share different types of media contents such as satire, music, and comedy as coping strategies (Eden et al, 2020). While satire and comedy are both genres and literary devices, music is a collection of coordinated sound or sounds. The use of satire, music, and comedy to disseminate information may be circumstance, season, purpose or event-driven. The people's media and media content consumption patterns have changed during this critical period of public health emergencies (Eden et al, 2020). Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the practice and motivators of Nigeria undergraduates' use of satire, music, and comedy for sharing COVID-19 information on social media
