Abstract

The chapter delves into the significant problem of fake news in the Indo-Pacific region, focusing on the role of professional journalists in combating it. It discusses the impact of fake news on societies with low literacy and media literacy rates, and the increasing use of social media platforms like TikTok among young audiences. The text highlights the need for journalists to adapt their skills to include verification and fact-checking, and explores the potential of collaborative journalism with local communities. Additionally, it examines the challenges and opportunities presented by the digital media landscape, including the use of AI-generated content and the importance of building capacity among local journalists and citizens.
