Information for the Public Benefit in the Era of ‘Fake News Pandemic’

Vesna Marjanović is the autor of analysis of media and information in times of new phenomenon, pandemic of fake news or "infodemia".

“The coronavirus pandemic has already shaken the very foundations of our healthcare system, our democratic system, international relations, and is testing solidarity within the EU as well as transatlantic relations. The economic outcome, what will happen to the poor, migrants and other vulnerable groups are all still unfathomable.”

“Events are unfolding at a rate that is difficult to keep up with. Never before have there been as much analyses, as many predictions, questions posed, theses, counter-arguments and opposing opinions on a single solitary subject.”
