The global pandemic has forced many people to reorder their schedules, their priorities and their lives. Relationships with family, friends and colleagues have been altered and relationships with electronic media have intensified. Terms and words like: ‘lockdown’, ‘quarantine’, ‘physical distancing’, ‘mandatory isolation’, ‘state of emergency’ and ‘new normal’ have become common parlance. Governments, news media, policy makers, organisations and experts note that inaccurate and imprecise information may fuel conflict and panic, indeed even balanced ‘information’ can be read in problematic ways.
