The NSW/ACT state branch is organising a webinar to discuss the growing problem of misinformation in political advertising; titled Truth in Political Advertising.
Unlike commercial advertising, truth in political advertising has no legal protections outside of South Australia and the ACT. The importance of truth, and absence of misinformation, cannot be underestimated as a key factor for protecting our democracy and optimal electoral outcomes. This webinar will provide contributions from three speakers (Zali Steggall, Ullrich Ecker & Geoffrey Watson) who are each making valuable contributions to this issue and will be expertly moderated by a highly experienced journalist (Anne Maria Nicholson).
While this webinar is free and open to all, you will still need to register beforehand at https://www.abcfriends.net.au/truth_webinar2024. Registration is available from 20 September.
Thankyou for any consideration you can provide on this matter. All the best,
Bruce Stevenson (Branches Coordinator; on behalf of NSW/ACT state committee)
