VISUAL RHETORICAL STRATEGIES IN DATA JOURNALISM (ON THE EXAMPLE OF INFOGRAPHIC "RIA NEWS" ABOUT COVID-19)
Abstract and keywords
Abstract (English):
Data journalism of RIA News has a unique appeal at the level of visual rhetoric. Using the example of the RIA News infographic about COVID-19, this article examines the strategies of visual rhetoric in responding to public health events and analyzes the significance of visual rhetoric of the infographic from RIA News in public crisis communication. The study showed that RIA Novosti uses various tools, such as the rhetoric of time, spatial rhetoric and interactive rhetoric, to select, analyze, process and visualize data, forming a new system of expressive meanings, which allows data journalism to provide the public with objective and realistic information about crisis.

Keywords:
