Jennifer Larson, Consul General, United States Consulate General, Hyderabad, said debunking the false narratives before they enter the mainstream reporting was of paramount importance as the dangers posed by disinformation were a threat to democracy.
“There have always been actors looking to spread false information and journalists have always been on the frontlines of identifying that information and preventing it from circulating among the broader public,” she said while speaking at the certificate awards ceremony of the training programme on “Countering Disinformation for Telugu TV Journalists” at the Osmania University here on Tuesday.
