| description | Disinformation was a common occurrence in the Global South before it became a preoccupation in the Global North. This chapter describes a range of research conducted between 2017 and 2019 as part of the Journalism Innovation Project at Oxford University's Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism, and more recent work by the authors. It addresses a weakness in existing thinking about innovation in journalism. The chapter looks more closely at professional responses to disinformation that emphasize collaboration (with audiences and civil society organizations). It also presents the normative and educational responses of these media organizations: by experimenting with engaging forms of media and information literacy and reaching out to audiences in clear calls to action they have found more loyal followings, which is important for both independent media viability and to re-establish trust in institutions. |
