Theme: Disinformation in Emergency Situations

When accessing information about health in extraordinary situations, it is necessary to pay attention to what the content is, what it shows, what it means, and who created it for what purpose. Both the person who produces the content in the media and the people who follow this content need to be sensitive and aware of an important issue such as health in extraordinary situations. For this reason, we believe that the spread of health-related disinformation has become a fundamental problem today in emergencies. 

With this experience, which we have built with the intention of creating a creative community, “How can we prevent disinformation about health in extraordinary situations?” We will be looking for an answer.
