The Melbourne Press Club (MPC) and Independent Multicultural Media Australia (IMMA) will present a forum on the critical issue of misinformation and disinformation in the context of multicultural media during elections on Thursday, September 12 at 11am.

The discussion, titled ‘Misinformation/Disinformation and Multicultural Media – The Challenge of Council Elections,’ is timely as Victorian local councils prepare for their October elections.

With the rise of misinformation and disinformation, the panel will delve into strategies to ensure that voters across various communities are well-informed.

The event is supported by the US Consulate and RMIT University.
