Rising disinformation has far-reaching consequences in many policy areas ranging from public health to national security. It can cast doubt on factual evidence, jeopardise the implementation of public policies and undermine people's trust in the integrity of democratic institutions. This report explores how to respond to these challenges and reinforce democracy. It presents an analytical framework to guide countries in the design of policies, looking at three complementary dimensions: implementing policies to enhance the transparency, accountability, and plurality of information sources; fostering societal resilience to disinformation; and upgrading governance measures and public institutions to uphold the integrity of the information space.
Fostering societal resilience to disinformation
This chapter presents policies and practices for a multi-stakeholder approach to information integrity. It discusses efforts to help provide the public with the skills to navigate the evolving information environment with a discerning view and critical approach and help facilitate the search for consensus through media and information literacy and the necessary evolution of the role of public communication. The chapter also explores the importance of strengthening participatory measures to inform the policy-making process in this space.
