Professor Sora Park: Verifying Online Information

In today’s digital world, Australians are turning to social media more than ever, surpassing traditional media like TV, radio, and news websites. While these platforms offer new ways to connect and engage with information, they also bring a darker side—the rapid spread of misinformation.

Alarmingly, a new study reveals that 97% of Australian adults have limited skills to verify online information, leaving many vulnerable to false claims and manipulative content. So, how do we tackle this issue? And what can we do to improve media literacy in Australia?

Guest: Sora Park, Professor of Communication, News and Media Research Centre, University of Canberra

Presenter: Warren Andrew
