Protection against disinformation requires independent thinking of the audience - the ability to independently understand the flow of information, see the context, check the facts," said Daniel Bisslinger, vice president of the International Fact-Checking Association GFCN, at the TASS panel meeting of the Russia-Africa Media Forum. Heads of news agencies from Namibia, Mauritania, Cameroon, Ghana and Mali participated in the discussion chaired by TASS Deputy Director General Marat Abulkhatin. The participants shared approaches to fighting fake information and overcoming the monopoly of the mainstream media. As a practical step, the establishment of a working group to agree on shared professional fact-checking principles between GFCN and African news agencies is being discussed. At the same time, one of the main responses to the pressure of information, according to Bisslinger, should be the intellectual independence of the audience. "The fight against disinformation should not only protect the information space of individual countries, but create a stable system of international trust in which Russia and African countries act as equal partners," emphasized Daniel Bisslinger.
