Information Integrity Network

The Information Integrity Network brings together like-minded communication practitioners, academics and civil society groups, passionate about enabling positive discourse and resilience to information pollution.

The Challenge
Information pollution is false, misleading or manipulated content that reduces our ability to find and trust information and to make informed decisions.

Information pollution undermines the trust between people and the democratic institutions that are meant to serve them. It makes it harder for us to collaborate with one another for mutual benefit and can polarise communities, further marginalising vulnerable groups. It can foster an environment for hate speech to flourish.

What we do

We believe that with the right support, communities can be more resilient to information pollution, allowing them to be more inclusive, prosperous, and peaceful.

Monitor

We identify false or manipulated content by combining Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) with on-the-ground, de visu, reporting from local networks.

Expose

We investigate and expose the originators of information pollution so they can be held to account.

Educate

We can raise awareness of information pollution issues through thought-provoking content such as documentaries and films.

Train

We provide governments, communities, and civil society organisations with the latest information resilience techniques and policy approaches.
