This keynote, followed by a cross-sector panel, examines the erosion of facts and trust in a rapidly shifting information landscape. While politics and technology often dominate the debate, this session highlights an unexpected ally—news agencies—and how they can help safeguard credibility and resilience in ways that may ultimately protect us all.

Additionally, the session will consider how strategic communications and the dynamics of today’s digital landscape shape the conditions under which information is contested, shared, and manipulated.
