Why MEDIACT?

In today’s abundance of information, we are constantly provided with false, misleading perspectives of global matters. The untrustworthiness of popular channels is reflected to an inaccurate understanding of on-ground realities, underreported issues, and public favour of pushed agendas and ideologies. The general population is exposed to the ‘implications’ rather than the problem’s ‘source’. Media illiteracy and propaganda limit our understanding of the world and lead to dividing tensions, extremism and generalized ignorance. The presence of peace requires the cooperation of many actors: media, institutions, government and civil societies. Limited opportunities to doubt the truth have coined two terms – fake news and post truth to justify propaganda.
