The goals of fact-checking & media literacy are being misrepresented by those who spread false information. Here, @guyberger & I argue we need a new framing showing not just what we are *against* - but what we are *for*: "information integrity".

Love to see this; fact-checkers showing, again, the value of cooperation . .

Timely reminder. @TomRosenstiel: “Misinformation is not like plumbing, a problem you fix. It is a social condition, like crime, that you must constantly monitor and adjust to”. Or let's accept, schools fail so stop teaching, crime happens so no police.

The foremost symbol of journalistic impotence in the Trump era.

Realised today just how rarely I now use this platform. Once, it was once possible to see a wide range of views and useful information. Now - just endless one-sided promotion of its billionnaire owner's political views. "Sad", as someone might say.

In 2017, I asked for support to help @AfricaCheck build up a community to fight for information integrity on the continent. [@ShuttleworthFdn - looking at you]. Was thrilled to be in Ghana this month to witness this 👇.
1/ 🌍 50 African Fact-Checking Organisations Unite! At the #AfricaFactsSummit2024, fact-checkers from more than 30 African countries signed the Accra Declaration on Information Integrity & Resilience. Their mission? Tackle misinformation & build trust across Africa.

A first generation of fact-checkers started with @factcheckdotorg in 2003 - a year before social media was a thing. @AfricaCheck started in 2012 checking claims made in print and broadcast media and offline settings…. Then in 2016 things changed …. Maybe time to change back?.
Completely agree with this take @Sander_vdLinden @YaraKyrychenko @_JenAllen @DG_Rand! 🙌(see my take in the correspondence in @Nature). We need to consider misleading info from mainstream media to a much greater extent. Great to see the field moving towards this perspective.

An important study for those concerned with, & critical of, efforts to counter false information. It's why asymetric misinformation requires 'due', not false, balance👇. This is as true in other countries & contexts (think India or Brazil, as examples) as it is in the US, too.
🚨Out in Nature!🚨.Many (eg Trump JimJordan @elonmusk) have accused social media of anti-conservative bias.Is this accurate?.We test empirically - and it's more complicated than you might think: conservatives ARE suspended more, but also share more misinfo

Given all the AI-scare stories, worth a read 👇🏻.
📰 No AI impact on UK, French & EU election results. New research from the Turing’s CETaS finds a lack of evidence showing AI-enabled #disinformation had a measurable impact on recent UK & EU elections. Concerns about trust in digital content persist. ➡️

Unsuprisingly, this study is being reported in different ways in different news outlets but. worth a look if interested in how ppl who identify as left-leaning or right-leaning/conservative process emotion, information & willingness to update views etc. .
