Artful Inquiry – Disinformation is Designed
Over the last decade, one of the biggest news stories has often been the news itself. Whether it’s “true” or “fake”, the rise of mis- and disinformation and the impact of ‘information disorder’ on everything from public health to elections has become one of the biggest challenges to our society.
DI Doctoral Researcher Anna Talley joins James Cook, Edinburgh College of Art’s Director of Research, in this episode of Artful Inquiry podcast to explore the role of communication design in disinformation, from sensationalist newspapers in the late nineteenth century to “fake news” websites today. They talk about typography, layout and images and how design can help stem the flow of disinformation online.
