Sensationalist Newspapers Tena Slobodnjak

Project description

The title reveals part of the content of the text, i.e. its context. At the time when we consume information quickly, it is a popular practice for media companies to write bombastic headlines in order to get better readership. If the reader doesn’t read the entire article it can result in the spreading of fake news or unnecessary panic and fear. With the pandemic and war, such headlines became the modus operandi. For the project, titles of news from all categories were collected and combined into sensationalist newspapers, indicating the quantity and ubiquity of such titles in the media space. What kind of perception do we create by reading only the headlines?
