Kids and Misinformation Archives — LIRNEasia


After three years of collaborative research and engagement, the ‘Resisting Information Disorders in the Global South’ project has culminated in the publication of the report ‘Information Disorder and Resilience in the Global South: Structural Drivers, Governance, Media Literacy, and Fact-Checking.’ The report draws on evidence from across the Global South to examine the structural drivers of information disorder and assess regulatory and societal responses in Africa, the MENA region, South-East Asia, and Latin America. LIRNEasia contributed Chapter 4, ‘Empowering Children Against Misinformation: A Review of Media and Information Literacy (MIL) Interventions in Sri Lanka’, authored by Isuru Samaratunga, Research Manager at LIRNEasia, and Helani Galpaya, CEO of LIRNEasia.
