ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Africa Young Reporter videos

Sharing misinformation of all kinds is ubiquitous across Africa. Health hoaxes, fake cures, anti-vaccination messages are all shared, sometimes with the best of intentions across communities, endangering lives with dangerious and incorrect information. Political disinformation is a toxic addition to threats to democracy. For these reasons, Africa has been a priority region in the ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ’s fight against so-called β€œfake news”. These three Young Reporter films explain what fake news is, how to recognise it and who you can trust in the world of media. These were made especially for schools in Kenya and Nigeria.
