During a public health emergency, understanding people’s information needs, concerns and narratives that are circulating in communities they are part of, is a foundation for evidence-based infodemic management. Using examples from COVID-19 and monkeypox,
experts from various regions and backgrounds will discuss how visual communication, e.g. emojis, images, videos, can help in assessing and addressing infodemics.
