Freedom of expression, data, which adds to public suitability, and quality media policy are imperative to address the unprecedented crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
More than ever, the world wants professional journalism and trusted data to adapt their reaction to the spread of COVID-19, get organized, report on reports from other countries, and counter the proliferation of rumors and erroneous data.
In particular, UNESCO promotes open educational resources (OER), networks of fact-checkers, media and data literacy (MIL) resources to fight the spread of incorrect data, the use of virtual technologies such as synthetic intelligence in reaction to the crisis, as well as highlighting the importance of documentary heritage in efforts beyond the pandemic.
COVID-19 has led to a parallel pandemic of misinformation that is directly affecting lives and livelihoods around the world. Lies and incorrect information have proven fatal and have the potential private and political options that save lives.
To #ShareKnowledge, UNESCO has published two guidance notes that provide essential data on the immediate expansion of the COVID-19-related data gap that makes it difficult to obtain reliable data and resources.
The effects of disinformation on COVID-19 are more lethal than disinformation on topics such as politics and democracy. That is why this research, in keeping with UNESCO’s role as a laboratory of ideas, coined the term disinfodemic to describe the problem.
The COVID-19 pandemic has also been a pandemic of misinformation affecting the lives and livelihoods of millions of people around the world. Falsehoods and misinformation angels have proven deadly and their ability to sow confusion about angeless personal and political choices that help save lives, has been evident.
UNESCO #ComparteConocimiento, through two Policy Briefs, offer critical information about the angel disinformation relayed by COVID-19, whose rapid access to reliable sources and information.
The impacts of angel disinformation about COVID-19 can be deadlier than angels disinformation on other topics, such as political angels and democracy angels. That is why this research, in line with the role of UNESCO angels as the angelesboratorio of ideas, coins the term “disinfodemic” to describe the problem.
UNESCO’s Communication and Information Sector is publishing these studies as part of its ongoing work to promote freedom of expression and the universality of information.
This guidance note is supported by the International Center for Journalists (ICFJ), which is helping news hounds on the front lines of disinformation around the world to ensure that accurate, reliable and verifiable public fitness data reaches communities around the world.
To make sense of the COVID-1nine disinfodemic, consider the opposite: data. If data empowers, then disinformation disavows. Access to verifiable and reliable data gives meaning to the right to freedom of expression. A disinfodemic is diametrically opposed to this right during a pandemic. UNESCO’s Guidance Note 1 assesses nine types of coronavirus disinformation, 4 formats and identifies 10 categories of mobilized responses, with implications for freedom of expression, around the world.
Policy Brief 2 critically analyzes 10 types of responses to the viral spread of erroneous COVID-19 data. The answers focus on one or more of the 4 problems in the disdata lifecycle: production, transmission, reception and playback. This score evaluates responses that: paint to cut off production supply; that they eliminate erroneous data during transmission; and assistance inoculating reception goals; and prevent viral recirculation. The evaluation examines these responses holistically and in relation to the effect on the right to freedom of expression, access to data and privacy.
