About the project
To mark the 15-year anniversary of BBCx365, Johnny Selman is revisiting the spirit of the original project—visually interpreting current events to increase awareness.
But, a lot has changed in the past 15 years.
01
Where people get their news
Today, 86% of U.S. adults say they get news from a smartphone, computer or tablet.
In 2010, only half of Americans sometimes got their news online, and very few on smartphones.
02
Partisan media bubbles
New research on political behavior finds that most Democratic and Republican voters live in partisan bubbles, with little daily exposure to those who belong to the other party.
03
Misinformation & the erosion of trust
Today, the proliferation of false content online is pervasive and exacerbates the erosion of global trust in institutions. In fact, only 40% of people say they consistently trust news.
Johnny will design 3 posters based on one news story from 3 different U.S. news sources across the political spectrum, every week of Trump's 2nd term.
