2024 is the biggest election year in history. Starting with Taiwan in January and running through to the US presidential election in November, more than two billion people in 65+ countries will take part in decisive elections – including eight of the ten most populous countries in the world. For journalists, it will be a year where they must tackle the inevitable flood of disinformation that will infect social media and other media platforms. So how do we build resilience and immunity to the growing sophistication of disinformation, debunk it and find time to do the job of journalists and report the facts? Moderated by Catherine Mackie.
