The spread of fake news and disinformation is increasing with the advancement of technology. Inclusion of fact-checking courses in the curriculum of universities and skilled media workers for fact checking are required to prevent this, said speakers at a programme yesterday.
Speakers at a webinar yesterday urged NGOs to disclose their information proactively, based on the Right to Information Act 2009 and suggested they organise orientation and skill development training for policy-level officials in this regard.
