And the last tip…stay away from fake news by reading verified journalism from responsible publishers who are working hard to get the facts and cover the developments of the Coronavirus outbreak.
Linnéa Aguero, head of PR & Communications at Readly, says: “We believe that magazine reading can play an even more significant role in these trying times. Instead of increasing the amount of time spent on scrolling social media or watching viral videos or mobile gaming, magazines can be used for more rewarding activities such as reading great articles.
“Magazine reading can be used for discovering new interests, learning new topics, being entertained or just relaxation. In these times it is also very clear that people have an increasing interest in staying up to date with in depth reading about the Coronavirus crisis - something that is found in many magazines right now.”
