webfact Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 PRD holds workshop on ‘Maintaining Credibility and Trust in Journalism’ BANGKOK, 21 March 2019 (NNT) – The Thai Government’s Public Relations Department (PRD) is today holding "Maintaining Credibility and Trust in Journalism", a collaborative workshop for addressing fake news in ASEAN PRD Deputy Director-General Dr. Charoon Chaisorn presided over the opening ceremony of the workshop. He said the PRD is fully aware of the opportunities and challenges of communication in the digital era. Through digital sources, there has been a massive increase in the reach of media. However, disinformation and fake news may come appear in various forms and at any time. He believes that the professional journalists should jointly deal with this issue, and that they will be able to tackle the spread of fake news and disinformation, thus negating its negative effects more effectively. On the regional stage, ASEAN member countries were urged to drive mechanisms to address disinformation and fake news while promoting education to improve media-literacy in the region. The call was made at the 14th Conference of ASEAN Ministers Responsible for Information in Singapore in May 2018. This is a similar focus to that of the Communication and Information Sector under UNESCO. UNESCO Bangkok Director Shigeru Aoyagi said disinformation and fake news are issues around the world. Fake news is content that is deliberately and intentionally fabricated, but pretends to be true and to be news, and produced with the intention of benefiting its creator. Most recently UNESCO produced a Handbook for Journalism Education and Training entitled ‘Journalism, ‘Fake News’ and Disinformation. It has been translated into Vietnamese and is currently under translation into Thai. In the workshop, participants learn from the challenges posed by information disorder and work together to identify effective responses for strengthening -- © Copyright nnt 2019-03-21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TallGuyJohninBKK Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 A report I was reading the other day noted that dictatorial regimes around the world have jumped on the Trump bandwagon and now are using the banner "fake news" around the world to stifle public dissent, oppress those trying to tell the truth, and promote their own fake narratives. Anything that doesn't fit with the Dear Leader's narrative is officially labeled "fake news". But of course, that would NEVER happen in Thailand!!!!

dcnx Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 How can you say “credible journalism” with a straight face with a Junta boot up your behind? And they are not the only boot, but we can’t speak of that one. There’s no such thing in this situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Credible journalism in Thailand, yeah that would be the joke of the century without any need for any junta boot anywhere - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
