The One Minute World News: Deconstructed and Reconstructed

In an era where information is condensed into rapid bursts, the BBC’s One Minute World News epitomises our culture’s demand for instant updates. These snapshots compress the complexity of global events into mere seconds-just enough to catch a headline, but far too brief to delve into the deeper stories beneath. By deconstructing and reconstructing these fragments of the news, this project explores the limitations of understanding in the digital age.

For November 28, 2024, I present my interpretation of this rapid-fire news format.
