Mr. S?amus Dooley:

I do not want to sound too Pollyannaish, but I think the challenges of social media, disinformation and AI are an opportunity and the media industry needs to come out fighting. I agree with Ms McKay. I think the membership of the Press Council or adherence to the code of conduct of the NUJ, for instance, is a mark of quality and should be defended. It is part of the contract of truth with readers and listeners. I hope I am right to say that over time, people will learn, perhaps through media literacy, to differentiate between what is credible journalism and what is dangerous fiction.
