The Assault on Facts: How Misinformation and External Forces Threaten Journalism in Nigerian

“In the digital era, the democratization of information has empowered millions worldwide, breaking down traditional barriers to access and sharing. Digital platforms have further amplified this freedom, allowing users to personalize and engage with content on an unprecedented scale. This shift has challenged the dominance of conventional news media, reducing their vulnerability to censorship and manipulation by oppressive regimes and special interests.

However, the unchecked proliferation of digital content has also enabled the spread of misinformation, disinformation, propaganda, and conspiracy theories on a massive scale. The rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and chatbots has exponentially increased the reach and influence of these harmful narratives, posing significant threats to informed decision-making, social cohesion, and democratic values.

By embracing innovative storytelling formats, fact-checking initiatives, and collaborative reporting efforts, the news media can reclaim its role as a trusted guardian of fact-based information and a champion of democratic accountability.”
