With the development of technology and the expansion of media, issues related to media misinformation have become something that cannot be ignored. Disinformation is a serious crime that affects society and reflects the misuse of power and influence enjoyed by the media.
Trusted and responsible media are an essential pillar in building democratic societies, as they provide accurate and reliable information to the public.
However, some violations and violations occur in this area, where facts are distorted and misleading and false information is spread. These media crimes can distort the true picture of events and negatively impact people's decisions and beliefs.
Examples of media crimes include advertising misinformation, where misleading marketing techniques are used to promote products or services in incorrect ways. It also includes spreading fake news, distorting facts, and manipulating information to advance political agendas or achieve personal gain. To achieve justice in cases of media disinformation, appropriate accountability mechanisms must be provided, as these mechanisms should include strict controls and laws regulating the publishing and broadcasting process, in addition to independent mechanisms for monitoring and investigating complaints. The capabilities of regulatory authorities must be strengthened and the necessary resources must be provided to track and monitor media crimes and punish those responsible.
In addition, civil society plays an important role in exposing cases of media misinformation and shedding light on violations. Public awareness of the importance of reliable media must be enhanced and media literacy must be enhanced among the public, so that they are able to distinguish between true news and false information.
It is important that all of society, including governments, the media and the public, work to promote a culture of accountability and justice in cases of disinformation.
Everyone must cooperate to achieve a balance between freedom of expression and accountability, where the media can play its vital role in conveying accurate and reliable facts and information, while ensuring that this right is not abused to cause harm to society and individuals.
Achieving justice in cases of media disinformation enhances confidence in the media and contributes to enhancing transparency and democracy.
Therefore, there must be continuous efforts to enhance accountability and encourage the media to adopt high professional standards and provide accurate and reliable information that serves the interest of the public and society as a whole.
