New study
The United Nations Development Program is releasing a new study that will examine public officials' attitudes toward disinformation and propaganda.
Key findings include:
- 96% of civil servants are aware of misinformation and propaganda, considering them a significant threat to national interests.
- Only 38% say that they can easily identify misinformation.
- Internet (82%) and televisions (70%) are named among the main sources of information.
- Self-gathered information (65%), personal experience (61%), and information shared by others (34%) are regarded as the most reliable information sources.
- 82% say they never had training about disinformation.
