I have questions for Ms Chadamoyo Makombe and Mr. Gordon on the facts and figures on the youth and their trust in media. The report of the Future of Media Commission states 73% or 74% of people trust the mainstream media but only 33% have trust in social media. The reality is social media is being targeted for misinformation about facts and truth and this is directed especially at a younger generation who spend more time on their phones than my generation and older people do. What can we do to change that? What campaign can we run? There is so much disinformation and incorrect information out there on social media. If the younger generation grows older believing some or much of that information is correct, we will have a very changed society in future. What can we do to change that?
