PPI SCHOLASTIC OUTREACH
LET’S GET REAL ON FAKE NEWS
in partnership with NICKEL ASIA CORP.
With support from
Philippines Communication Society and Philippine Information Agency
PIA Auditorium, Visayas Ave., Quezon City, Philippines
May 9, 2017
Rationale:
The advent of social media has been both a boon and a bane for society. There is no gainsaying the
fact that today’s online communication channels have made interactions with other people, albeit
virtually, even for the most flimsy reasons — such a cinch. Indeed, getting in touch with kith and kin
alike — no matter the distance — now comes with little effort and at relatively little costs. (A definite
boon for OFWs and their families.) Welcome to the virtual world!
The benefits proffered by these electronic tools may go far beyond making life convenient for
individual members of society, because they arguably have value for democracy. Consider citizens
being emboldened to speak their minds (for some with little regard for decency and decorum) on a
broad range of issues, often involving powerful figures that bristle at becoming embroiled in a virtual
storm. Why, even those living under authoritarian or repressive states, who think nothing of allowing
an independent press, have embraced digital media to voice their dissent on matters of public interest
— and fight repression.
Yet the same tools being used for expanding and deepening public dialogue, and enhancing civic and
political engagement while empowering marginalized sectors, are also being wielded to undermine
such and similar ends. The advent of ‘fake news’, ‘alternative facts, or simply put, outright lies, clearly
illustrates this troubling reality that is rewiring public debate, and societies at large, in the digital age. In
the Philippines and elsewhere in the world the proliferation of fake news is polarizing society and
deepening the political divide. This, at a time when people should be reaping increasing digital
dividends not only to enhance their individual and collective well-being but also to ensure more
responsive, efficient, and transparent public governance.
This seminar — interestingly, one of many now taking place in the Philippines and elsewhere in the
world — couldn’t be more timely, including for young people, who, like other segments of society, can
be unwitting (or witting) tools in the spread of hoax news.
It will explore questions such as: What is fake news? How to spot fake news? Is fake news a new
phenomenon? How is it undermining democracy? What can be done to stop it?
These questions — and more — will be tackled in PPI’s scholastic outreach on fake news.
