MeDeMAP Research Project: Engagement with the National Citizens' Parliament for Media and Democracy
2:00 am
Mr. Niall Mahon:
The citizens' parliament was made up of 20 citizens. It was a diverse sample with both young and old. Nearly everybody felt a certain inability to discriminate between what is good and bad media. We felt that campaigns were needed across the board, not just in schools, concerning basic fact-checking and learning about AI, which is a big thing now. While it is ever evolving, it is something we need to be looking at constantly.
