Fighting Disinformation and Disengagement: Staying relevant in the digital age

Main Stage
IBC Conference

A steep increase in the use of disinformation and fake news by malicious actors and even governments has been witnessed in recent years. Added to this an increasing number of younger consumers get their information from non-verified platforms, or from those with a vested economic interest in the algorithms that are set to produce popularity rather than promote factuality. So what role do broadcasters, news providers and social media play in ensuring the accurate delivery news to the platforms where people consume it? This panel will examine trends around truth and trust in the consumption of information.
