Trusted News Initiative [1] This is headed up by the Murdoch family of controlling corporations.
The Trusted News Initiative (TNI) was set up last year to protect audiences and users from disinformation, particularly around moments of jeopardy, such as elections. The TNI complements existing programmes partners have in place.
The partners currently within the TNI are: AP, AFP; BBC, CBC/Radio-Canada, European Broadcasting Union (EBU),Facebook, Financial Times, First Draft, Google/YouTube, The Hindu, Microsoft , Reuters, Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism, Twitter, The Washington Post.
The TNI cooperative framework has been jointly developed amongst partners, and relates to only the most serious disinformation, which threatens life or the integrity of the electoral process. This is entirely separate from and does not in any way affect the editorial stance of any partner organization.

- hulitu 3y agoThanks for the link. Good to know how propaganda spreads.
- LinuxBender 3y agoYou're welcome. TNI is only part of the picture. Each government has a department that works with these groups. The US recently officiated one of the groups rather than trying to hide it.
