The media sector in Papua New Guinea is responding to the growing influence of social media, misinformation, and artificial intelligence on the nation’s information environment. Media Council president Neville Choi highlighted the challenges these forces pose to verified journalism. The concern centers on the potential for AI and unchecked social media content to erode public trust in credible news sources. PNG’s media professionals are actively seeking ways to ensure verified information continues to reach the public. This pushback aims to safeguard the integrity of news reporting amidst a rapidly changing digital landscape. The Media Council is leading efforts to address these issues and promote responsible information consumption.
