This work aims at investigating the role played by public graphic communication within the specific context of an emergency. The analysis of the infographs divulged during the pandemic will focus on the meanings, themes, linguistic registers and narrative methods that have characterised the information divulged by the Ministry of Health and by Italian Regional Governments through institutional websites and social media accounts. The emergence of new idioms and language in the e-health management sector represents an opportunity to reflect on the roles and skills of public-sector communicators, and on emergency communication as such.

Abstract

This work aims at investigating the role played by public graphic communication within the specific context of an emergency. The analysis of the infographs divulged during the pandemic will focus on the meanings, themes, linguistic registers and narrative methods that have characterised the information divulged by the Ministry of Health and by Italian Regional Governments through institutional websites and social media accounts. The emergence of new idioms and language in the e-health management sector represents an opportunity to reflect on the roles and skills of public-sector communicators, and on emergency communication as such.
