Belinda Kora, Secretary of the Media Council of Papua New Guinea and founder of Women in Media, has identified misinformation circulating on social media as the foremost challenge facing journalists during the upcoming elections. Kora’s assessment highlights the difficulty in ensuring accurate information reaches the public amidst a flood of potentially false or misleading content. The statement was made in a recent post, access to which is restricted to paid subscribers of the Post Courier. This issue presents a significant hurdle to fair and informed participation in the electoral process. Kora’s warning underscores the critical role of media literacy and fact-checking in maintaining election integrity. The Media Council’s concern reflects a broader global trend of disinformation impacting democratic processes. Further details of Kora’s comments are available to Post Courier subscribers.
