At a press conference organized by the Vision Foundation for Strategic Studies, the importance of verifying the accuracy and authenticity of media news and information was discussed, particularly during the election campaign period. Within this context, attention was drawn to the activities and progress of the Iraq Filter project.
During the conference, statistics and activities carried out by Iraq Filter during the election campaign were presented to journalists. The project identified and addressed 98 cases of misinformation and awareness-related content. The challenges faced by the project were also highlighted.
The Iraq Filter project serves as a platform to combat fake and misleading news during election campaigns. It is supported by the Swedish organization IDEA International and funded by the German Federal Foreign Office. The project is implemented by the Vision Foundation for Strategic Studies in cooperation with the Strategic Center for Human Rights in Iraq.
