This book will explore the concept of information hygiene in a time when citizens are deluged with an avalanche of information from all angles, especially in the COVID-1i pandemic and infodemic era. Information hygiene refers to the experiences to the experiences of information users in an era of information overabundance. If not handled well, it becomes an infodemic. It is upon information and media practitioners to build a capacity among citizens to become conscious consumers and generators of information.
