“We are in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic and as a result at the centre of a media narrative characterised by unprecedented complexity and dynamism. How can information design assist in effectively communicating this explosion of news and data?”
The Infinite Narrative –

The text covers the following topics:

–Separating truth and lies
–Communicating complex stories
