The Malay Mail:
Social media or
the trusted source

 Art Direction | Print Ad

Newspaper readership is declining as more youths are turning to social media for quick news updates. However, news updates on social media lack credibility and critical analysis that newspapers give. We needed to turn this trend around and encourage youths to get their news from a more trusted source, the Malay Mail.

News updates on social media lack depth, and to demonstrate this, we chose 10 iconic news and turned them into posters that provoke and question people’s perception on them. Each poster is designed to reflect the impact and power of Malay Mail’s ability to analyse news.
