    Fighting Fake News: Can You Handle The Truth?

    Jonathan McClory, Warren Fernandez, Ellana Lee, Gary Liu, Maria A. Ressa

    Industry leaders, including Maria Ressa and Gary Liu, convened to analyze how profit-driven internet economics and state-sponsored cyber warfare have eroded democratic trust by incentivizing the rapid spread of disinformation. The discussion highlighted the disproportionate impact of these campaigns on journalists and younger demographics while rejecting media literacy as a standalone solution in favor of multilateral regulatory frameworks and global governance agreements. To operationalize these defenses, the World Editors Forum announced World News Day to mobilize professional newsrooms in exposing corruption and reclaiming verified information amidst rising deepfake threats.
