Visionary Outreach in Inclusive, Credible, Ethical Journalism for Youth
Fighting misinformation
Project Team
Summary
The motivation behind the “VOICE: Visionary Outreach in Inclusive, Credible, Ethical Journalism for Youth” project is deeply rooted in the pressing societal challenges we face in today’s complex digital landscape. These challenges include the proliferation of misinformation, ethical lapses in modern journalism, and the unfortunate sidelining of individuals with disabilities from pivotal public discussions. Tackling these issues has never been more important, especially for the youth, who are avid consumers of digital media but often lack the necessary skills and resources to critically navigate it.
