An entire verification ecosystem has sprung up to fight the problem of misinformation (y’know, “fake news”). From tech solutions to business models and strategies, hear from some of the superheroes focused on rebuilding trust in journalism and facts.
Our panel, a veritable justice league for journalism, are fact-checkers, verifiers, debunkers and educators employing an arsenal of new tech solutions and old-fashioned journalistic techniques. They’ll talk about how the role for media is changing: in a world where everyone is a witness, should journalists be more focused on confirming and contextualising?
They'll outline how they and others are battling lies, misinformation and propaganda with tools such as fact-checking, verification and scoring the quality of news outlets’ work. Our expert panellists are deeply engaged in the world of fact-checking and verification – including RMIT ABC Fact Check, a university-based fact-checking unit that will revolutionise the way students will learn about this cutting-edge journalism practice.

Funded by the European Research Council, Why We Post examined uses of social media across eight countries. Part of the intention of the project was to make research findings easily accessible to a worldwide audience over digital platforms which resulted in developing an e-learning course for FutureLearn, making short films and publishing Open Access books.
Moderated by John Postill, three members of the Why We Post team – Daniel Miller, Jolynna Sinanan and Sheba Mohammid – will discuss the design and development of the course based on fifteen months of ethnographic research in diverse field sites. Specifically they will reflect upon the production of videos in each field site in collaboration with research participants, stories of individuals and wider discoveries on uses of social media in relation to themes such as education, politics and inequality. Andrea McLagan will compare the Why We Post initiative with ongoing MOOC developments at RMIT and beyond. - Показать больше
