With its un­pre­ce­den­ted scale and con­se­quen­ces the CO­VID-19 pan­de­mic has ge­ne­ra­ted a va­rie­ty of new con­fi­gu­ra­ti­ons of media. Re­spon­ding to de­man­ds for in­for­ma­ti­on, syn­chro­niza­t­i­on, re­gu­la­ti­on, and con­tain­ment, these “pan­de­mic media” re­or­der social in­ter­ac­tions, spaces, and tem­po­ra­li­ties, thus cont­ri­bu­ting to a re­con­fi­gu­ra­ti­on of media tech­no­lo­gies and the cul­tu­res and po­li­ties with which they are ent­an­g­led. High­light­ing media’s ad­ap­ta­bi­li­ty, mal­le­a­bi­li­ty, and sca­la­bi­li­ty under the con­di­ti­ons of a pan­de­mic, the cont­ri­bu­ti­ons to this volume track and ana­ly­ze how media emerge, ope­ra­te, and change in re­s­pon­se to the global crisis and pro­vi­de ele­ments towards an un­der­stan­ding of the post-pan­de­mic world to come.
