The Centre of Excellence for National Security (CENS) at the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies in Nanyang Technological University (NTU) organised their fourth annual workshop on “DRUMS: Distortions, Rumours, Untruths, Misinformation & Smears” as a three-part webinar series on 1st, 2nd and 4th December 2020.
The webinar series explored trends and issues in information manipulation – disinformation, misinformation and online falsehoods – that bedevilled the world in 2020. These trends and issues affect national security by influencing the processes and outcomes of elections and political discourse, public health and safety, and trust in media sources and national institutions. Expert speakers at the webinar series also examined governments’ and civil society’s efforts, and digital campaigns to counter the information disorder.
