Facts not Fakes: Tackling Disinformation, Strengthening Information Integrity

An OECD publication published in March 2024 is:
OECD. (2024). Facts not Fakes: Tackling Disinformation, Strengthening Information Integrity. OECD. https://doi.org/10.1787/d909ff7a-en It is also available in French and Spanish.
"This report presents an analytical framework to guide countries in the design of policies, looking at three complementary dimensions" which are Implementing policies to enhance the transparency, accountability, and plurality of information sources and Fostering societal resilience to disinformation "This involves empowering individuals to develop critical thinking skills, recognise and combat disinformation, as well as mobilising all sectors of society to develop comprehensive and evidence-based policies in support of information integrity." and Upgrading governance measures and public institutions to uphold the integrity of the information space.
There is a substantial chapter relating to Fostering societal resilience to disinformation which rather frustratingly refers to media literacy and media and information literacy most often.
