The emergence of digital technology has dramatically changed our world: the way we communicate, interact and obtain information. It's in this backdrop that digital media have emerged. Today, we all use them for information, whether through social networks, search engines or the digital press, and many others...

But these media and platforms, with their ease of access, speed and low or no cost, have given rise to a growing number of issues concerning the dissemination of news. Too many abuses, which were already present in the media, in the midst of a crisis of confidence several years ago, have drastically reduced the quality of information available on digital media.

Between misinformation, the arrival of generative AI, the manipulation of information for economic or political gain, and other abuses that I mention in this dissertation, it's more and more difficult to get quality information quickly on these media.

Against this backdrop, many solutions have emerged, including those from designers, and in particular graphic and editorial designers. This thesis takes a step-by-step look at what has happened in digital media, and the responses that have been devised in this context.
