It's the curse of the information age and a profound challenge for journalists and media workers - identifying and dealing with misinformation and disinformation.

Now, in the second of the Melbourne Press Club's free webinar series on mis/disinformation, we feature the Victorian Electoral Commissioner Sven Bluemmel and Associate Professor Michael Jensen, from the University of Canberra's Institute for Governance and Policy Analysis, on the potential electoral impacts of mis/disinformation.

Watch the discussion, moderated by MPC CEO Nick Richardson, on YouTube.

 

 

 

In the third and final webinar in our series on the challenges of mis/disinformation, join the ABC's National Technology Reporter Ange Lavoipierre as they talk about strategies and solutions with Alice Dawkins and Dr Rys Farthing, from Reset Australia.

Reset Australia is a research and advocacy body that seeks to prevent harm to Australians in online environments, including harm to democracy and public debate. Reset recently released a report that explores how digital platforms' systems and Australia's voluntary regulatory framework are not "fit for purpose' when it comes to mitigating the spread of misinformation and disinformation.
