Definition:
Świat ogarnęła nie tylko epidemia Covid-19 wywołana koronawirusem, lecz także, jak ją określiła Światowa Organizacja Zdrowia (WHO), infodemia, czyli epidemia informacyjna. Zalew informacji, w tym fałszywych lub niedokładnych, o wirusie, jego źródle i skutkach, a także o działaniach podejmowanych przez władze, by zaradzić pandemii, sprawia, że ludziom trudno jest znaleźć wiarygodne źródła i potrzebne rady.

Example sentence(s):
  • Koronawirus, pierwsza infodemia – epidemia informacyjna – każe nam przemyśleć model dostępności treści w internecie. I to nie tylko z perspektywy dezinformacji i fake-newsów, ale również w kontekście tego, kto sprawuje w dzisiejszych czasach kontrolę nad wiedzą i informacją – czyli ma władzę. - centrumcyfrowe.pL
