dc.description.abstract | This study explores the role that information visualisation played in the popularisation of the technicalbiomedical aspects of the last Ebola virus epidemic, the most devastating to date. Applying content analysis methods, the total population of information visualisations (N=209) was coded and analysed to identify topics, and to define features and identify patterns in the images. The corpus was based on the record of articles with graphics appearing in five Spanish reference newspapers from 22 March 2014 to 13 January 2016, the start and suppression of the epidemic, respectively. The results suggest that information visualisation was a key factor in the popularisation of the epidemic’s technical-biomedical aspects, as well as contributing actively to construct, in the words of Myers, a narrative of nature. | es |
