Session 1 – Going beyond existing policies and partnerships: Building resilience and preventing the harms posed by mis- and disinformation
Public communication and media, information and civic literacy can help build resilience against the threat of disinformation, serving as an effective first line of action for public institutions. This session will reflect on the extent to which public communication, media and information literacy and other government initiatives can offset the negative impacts of disinformation, the limitations to these approaches, and lessons we can draw for governments to support and facilitate a whole-of-society approach to responding to this topic.
