False narratives, emotive content and questionable claims spread with stunning velocity on social media, creating a miasma of misinformation that most people think they can see through, but frequently can't, because they lead busy lives and don't have the time to double check everything, or even anything. Canberra University's 2021 Digital News Report paints an interesting picture: Fewer Australians are interested in news and there is a gradual shift away from traditional news platforms towards online and social media news sources. RMIT FactLab also works alongside RMIT ABC Fact Check, a partnership between RMIT University and the ABC, which focuses specifically on checking the accuracy of claims made by public figures, mainly politicians.
