Misinformation a growing concern for business leaders, finds BBC

A survey conducted by BBC Global News has found that business leaders across Australia are more concerned about misinformation than they were prior to the pandemic.

The study surveyed 250 ‘senior Australian business leaders’ about how they consume, engage with and share news, and about how habits have changed during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Of the respondents, 72% indicated that they are more concerned about misinformation than they were prior to the pandemic, with the importance of public health messaging over the past 18 months highlighting the need for trustworthy news sources.
