Ahead of elections, misinformation can ramp up leading to confusion and an erosion of people’s trust in the democratic process. With Kiwis taking to the polls this October, and a wide range of sources readily available online, it’s crucial that those who write the news have the tools to evaluate and ascertain quality information from misinformation.

That’s why, as part of our ongoing commitment to the New Zealand media industry, we’ve partnered with CrossCheck at RMIT FactLab to launch immersive and interactive training events that help newsrooms and community media learn skills to analyse online information during the Election period. 

In preparation for the election period, journalists participate in live simulations at the heart of a high-intensity breaking-news story, challenging them to make reporting decisions in real time. This includes a bespoke reflection that involves discussion and reflection on the various scenarios developed for all training sessions, and masterclass in information disorder and responsible reporting.
