Misleading, fake, fabricated information… From the 2016 US elections to the coronavirus pandemic, fake news is constantly circulating and affecting more and more people.  In the sixth episode, Rana Daoud looks at the extent of fake news, the risks involved and how to deal with them. 

Misinformation, beyond the click-bait objective, is also used to spread political and religious messages in a context where information is easily accessible, mainly via social networks. 

So how do we fight this phenomenon? More and more media outlets, such as the BBC or AFP, and social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook, are developing new techniques and tightening their policies in order to fight the spread of fake news.

Evolving the journalistic skill set not only helps to contextualise and source information, but also entails important technical aspects that make it possible to uncover edited and manipulated photos, videos or sound recordings. Our guests further stressed the need for spreading awareness, and providing readers and the general public with the tools to eventually authenticate information themselves.

Episode guests, in order of appearance: 

Josette Abi Thameur, from  Factuel AFP

Samia Ayech, Journalism Trainer at Sayich.

ABOUT

Inkyfada Podcast is the first platform entirely dedicated to original Tunisian podcasts, and was conceived by Inkyfada media in collaboration with the in-house research and development laboratory, InkyLab.
Inkyfada joined the global podcast boom in 2017, when the team produced the first Tunisian audio documentary, diving deep into the belly of the El Kamour struggle taking place in the desert.
Since then, Inkyfada Podcast has produced a wide variety of documentaries, investigations, and podcast series, as well as articles accompanied by music; covering a multitude of contemporary issues in order to offer an immersive and alternative podcast experience.
Whilst exclusively offering audio content, the Inkyfada Podcast team upholds the same core values and principles of inkyfada.com, and is committed to producing high quality content though a dynamic and meticulous production process.
In addition to the permanent team, Inkyfada podcast works closely with various journalists, artists, illustrators, musicians and other content creators in order to diversify the platform and support artistic creativity.
These podcasts differ from traditional radiophonic content in that the applied production and editing process is more akin to cinematographic techniques, in addition to being web-based, downloadable and accessible on demand.
Additionally, Inkyfada Podcast uniquely offers subtitles in French, Arabic and English for all audio content, the majority of which is recorded in Tunisian or in the preferred language of the speaker in question.
