Journalism & Public Information
In recent times, the problems generated by misleading, biased, overly simple, or false information have amplified the potential reach of misinformation and disinformation. Additionally, the use of social media and other technological changes during the COVID-19 pandemic have given rise to new public information challenges which require more expertise and awareness in addressing.
In response, UNICRI and CARICOM IMPACS hosted the “Journalism and Public Information Programme on New Threats during the COVID-19 Pandemic” programme. The programme was held virtually over the period May 6-7, 2021 via ZOOM and the Caribbean Basin Security Initiative – Connect (CBSI-Connect) virtual platform. The programme was designed to enhance the capabilities of journalists and public information professionals in the areas of justice, crime prevention and security. It also aimed to promote reliable and responsible public information dissemination given the crucial role played by media in influencing policies and civil society development.
