Fighting The Fakes Presented By RMIT And The Walkley Foundation As Part Of Storyology

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.
