Oyelola during the session held on Thursday October 8 implored Newsroom Actors to be vigilant and avoid publish Misinformation/Disinformation/Malinformation during the electioneering period and beyond.
He noted that FactualTimes needs to sustain the reputation and credibility built over a decade in the media industry.
The Media Executive also tasked participants to explore technological Fact checking tools to Fact check claims in terms of contents, videos and pictures to promote information integrity.
