A public consultation on the development of a National Counter Disinformation Strategy was launched on September 25. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of their report, the Future of Media Commission<\/a> recognised the need for more coordinated and strategic action to combat the damaging impact of disinformation on Irish society and democracy and recommended the development of a National Counter Disinformation Strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In February 2023, the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arta, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media established a multi-stakeholder working group, independantly chaired by MLI member Martina Chapman. The Working Group aims to coordinate sectoral efforts to combat disinformation and provide a joined-up approach to reduce the creation and spread of false and harmful material. MLI is represented by Dr. Eileen Culloty, with MLI Steering Group co-Chair Stephanie Comey representing Coimisi\u00fan na Me\u00e1n, and MLI Steering Group member Susan Daly representing the Press Council. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Working Group has produced a Scoping Paper<\/a> which sets out a summary of a range of issues that are relevant to disinformation. It also sets out five draft principles around which a strategy could be developed. The public consultation asks people for their views on those principles and for their ideas for actions that would help make them a reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“Disinformation is a complex issue. That is why we established this multi-stakeholder, independently chaired, working group to bring representatives from industry, academia, civil society and Government Departments together to develop a Strategy which would help coordinate all the efforts being made to counter disinformation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

An important part of the work is to seek the views of the public, and that is the aim of this public consultation. I would encourage people to review the Scoping Paper, which seeks to set out a summary of the main issues and the five draft principles, and submit their views<\/em>“.<\/p>\nThe Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media, Catherine Martin TD<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Once the consultation process has concluded, the Working Group will review the outputs and continue its work on developing the Strategy. The next stage of the consultation will then be a consultative forum for key stakeholders to discuss the outputs from the consultation. It is hoped to finalise a strategy as soon as possible thereafter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Full details and the consultation questionnaire are available here<\/a> and the consultation remains open for submissions until 5pm on Friday October 20. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
