Episode 7: The Psychology of Misinformation | #HateFreeEthiopia Radio Campaign

#ThinkB4UClick (Think Before You Click) is an awareness campaign that aims at pointing out the dangers of misinformation, fake news and hate speech with a focus on South Sudan. Over a period of one month, we aim to discuss with the public the consequences of hate speech and how it can be mitigated through individual actions that aim at creating safe spaces online and offline for citizens to interact with each other and discuss matters in a fruitful and informed manner.
The campaign has four sub-themes segmented into weekly messages:
1) In week one we will be focusing on checking and verifying the sources of information.
Unlike information found in newspapers or television broadcasts, information available on the internet is not regulated for quality or accuracy; therefore, the responsibility of verification falls on the reader as anyone can publish anything.
2) For week two we will be passing a message about how fast lies travel and how hard it is to retract an untrue statement once it is out there which is concerning, considering how social media has become a dominant force for news distribution.
3) During the third week we will be breaking down the importance of context and why people should read information in its entirety before responding, this is because out of context information has the ability to mislead people.
4) Our final week will focus on how small steps matter and how we can have a positive impact. We need to have more conversations on these issues at home, at school and in the workplace. Each person has an obligation to use Social Media responsibly and utilize the online mechanisms for reporting hate speech and misinformation online. Let us work to have a #HateFreeSouthSudan
