The Australian Mission to the European Union in partnership with the International Institute of Communications (IIC) and McDermott Will & Emery (MWE) invited guests to a panel discussion with Australia’s Minister for Communications, the Hon Michelle Rowland MP, and Prof. Julie Posetti (PhD), Professor and Deputy Vice President of the International Centre For Journalists.
The rapid spread of mis- and disinformation online erodes trust in democratic processes, undermines social cohesion and impacts public health efforts. Given this growing global challenge and evolving online landscape, the conversation will focus on a range of approaches to addressing and preventing these harms. How are governments, journalists, industry, and civil society in Australia and Europe grappling with these issues, and what measures can be taken to empower online users and create a safer online environment for all users?
