Abstract
The purpose of this article is to study the lived experience of the journalists’ interpersonal and social communication quality. Due to the implementation of preventive measures during the outbreak of Corona, the special characteristics of human life affected the individuals’ communication in different ways and created novel experiences through new changes in the daily life and human interactions. The journalists with the highest level of human communication were selected as the statistical population. This article uses the interpretive phenomenology and the semi-structured interview method in order to understand the deep meaning of these experiences. The study field of the research includes the journalists in Tehran, and the sample selection continued until the theoretical saturation of the data with 21 journalists. Finally, the open, central and selective coding was done based on analyzing the interviews to identify the related categories and concepts to the role of preventive measures in the journalists’ interpersonal and social communications; two categories were counted in interpersonal communications including “challenge in personal and family relationships” and “mental and psychological changes” and three categories were realized in social communications including “challenge in social interactions and distance from society”, “challenge in mutual social understanding” and “reduction in social cohesion”. The findings indicate that there has been a “reverse turn” in the journalists’ interpersonal and social communications compared to the normal condition and has actually generated serious challenges for the journalists in terms of interpersonal and social relations.
