The QUT Digital Media Research Centre, in collaboration with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, is hosting The Matter of Facts Student Forum, a timely and practical session spotlighting student experiences of misinformation, digital media and online worlds.
Inspired, in part, by the new ABC three-part documentary series The Matter of Facts, hosted by Hamish Macdonald, this interactive session will help you understand how misinformation spreads and what they can do to navigate today’s complex digital information landscape with confidence.
Through practical, hands-on activities, you will also build on your knowledge of journalism and media production, with an opportunity to create your own media content through a creative reporting, media making and storytelling challenge.
You will have the chance for your creations to be featured on QUT online channels, highlighting your perspectives and experiences about the digital worlds you occupy.
If your have an interest in all things digital – from the news and video games to social media and artificial intelligence – and want to build practical, media skills, then this event is for you!
