Structural fragility in digital public health communication

A newly published analysis in Nature argues that digital public health communication is structurally fragile, meaning the systems used to share health information with the public are vulnerable to breakdown, misinformation and loss of public trust. The paper calls attention to weaknesses exposed during recent health emergencies and is drawing discussion among public health researchers and communicators about how to build more resilient channels.

Why now: Researchers and public health practitioners are debating the paper's warning that digital health communication systems are not robust enough to withstand crises and misinformation.
