In today’s digital age, access to information is more widespread than ever, but not everyone has the necessary skills to evaluate the credibility of information and its media sources. This disproportionately affects communities who may lack the resources or education to navigate the rapidly-evolving media landscape. The Media Ethics and Credibility initiative will aim to empower individuals to critically evaluate information from these sources in order to participate in more informed discourse.
This initiative seeks to foster a more informed and resilient society in the face of the pervasive challenges posed by false and misleading information from various media channels. This initiative explores motivation and techniques in the unethical media dissemination, test strategic communication approaches to combat it and leverage support networks to empower people to navigate and critically evaluate content.
