The National Media Commission (NMC) has announced plans to launch a “Media Watch” app designed to combat misinformation and disinformation leading up to the general elections.
According to the NMC, the app will allow journalists and citizens to capture and report suspicious activities at polling stations in real time, enabling swift responses.
Speaking after a forum organized by the Institute of Democratic Governance (IDEG) on the theme “Moderating the Airwaves for Peaceful and Credible Elections 2024,” NMC Executive Secretary George Sarpong highlighted the app’s potential to support peaceful elections and safeguard journalists.
