Future of Public Service Broadcasting and Impact of Covid-19 on the Media Sector: Discussion

Mr. Adrian Lynch:

We are very hopeful now. We have been running a campaign called Truth Matters because integrity matters. That was aimed at all audiences but with a real emphasis on the 15 to 34 age group. I was talking to our director of news yesterday and he said that the pandemic is not only a pandemic in terms of the virus but it is also a pandemic of disinformation. People get their information from many different sources. One thing the pandemic has shown is that credible sources of information have a massive value for society and culture.
