Summary:
The two major local media organisations advocated fact-checking as a countermeasure against the trend of fake news online as they appeared at public hearings for the Select Committee on Deliberate Online Falsehoods (DOFs) on Friday (Mar 23).
In a written submission to the special parliamentary panel, senior editors from Channel NewsAsia recommended the establishment of an independent, transparent fact-checking “council, committee or body” to identify, assess and react to DOFs quickly.
