For France's Press and Media in Schools Week 2024, in which France Médias Monde is an official partner, the France 24’s Observers team has produced a new annual edition of Truth or Fake. The program, which disentangles fact from fiction, will be provided in three languages: French, English and Arabic.
In addition to being published on France 24’s website and social media the 2024 edition will be used in French schools in partnership with CLEMI, France's Education Centre for Media and Information, and AEFE (the Agency for French Education Abroad) to raise awareness among students and teachers of techniques to debunk fake news and propaganda using specific examples.
In 2024, Truth or Fake consists of educational videos based on concrete examples of disinformation using an interactive touch screen.
Contents:
- US presidential election: how to spot “audio deepfakes”
- Pallywood: a young Gazan on TikTok targeted by pro-Israeli accounts
- Zelensky's yachts and jewels: the vast Russian disinformation machine
Note: Every day, France 24's Observers team publishes image checks in the team's "Debunked" section, exposing fake news and distorted images on social media.
Every evening, the false images spotted by France 24’s Observers team are presented on air by Catalina Marchant de Abreu (at 8.45 pm* in English) and Anthony Saint-Léger (at 9.20 pm* French) and Dana Mansour (at 10.25 pm* in Arabic).
