About - #FightDisinfo

The logo of the Consortium on Democracy and Disinformation was designed by Boojie Peñacerrada, of the University of the Philippines Visayas. The elements of the design consist of two Ds, representing the “democracy” that the Consortium has a stake in and the “disinformation” that threatens it, and two chat or word bubbles, which stand for public discourse.

Info on #FightDisinfo

#FightDisinfo is a newsletter from the Consortium on Democracy and Disinformation, a nationwide network of journalists, academics, bloggers, and civil society representatives in the Philippines.

The "Alternative Facts" administration has been voted out and "fake news" is now mostly only used by government spokespersons to dismiss everything from rumored lockdowns and secret overseas trips to allegations that do not fit the official narrative, but that doesn't mean that it is all over.

With the Philippines gearing up for our own elections in 2022, disinformation and misinformation — spreading while democratic space is shrinking — will continue to play a part in our daily lives and in the big political decisions that will affect those lives.

This newsletter is free, as we all ought to be.
