Combating Misinformation in Africa
Combating misinformation in Africa: The power of interdisciplinary research?.
Misinformation and disinformation are serious threats to democracy and society. They can undermine trust in institutions, polarize public opinion, and lead to violence. In recent years, there has been a growing recognition of the need to address these interrelated issues. Stellenbosch 中国体育彩票 has a strong capacity in the fields of journalism, engineering, data science, and information science.
