As misinformation and disinformation proliferate across digital and traditional media, trust in institutions, expertise and information itself is increasingly under strain. In an era where narratives can be shaped and amplified at unprecedented speed, distinguishing fact from falsehood has become a critical challenge across society, industry and governance. This panel brings together perspectives from media, technology, policy and academia to reflect on how the current landscape is reshaping public trust. It will also consider the implications for decision-making, accountability and communication, highlighting the need for stronger frameworks, critical thinking and collaborative approaches to rebuild confidence in information and restore trust in an increasingly complex and contested environment.
