Tripoli, Libya (PANA) - The United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) is holding a webinar for Libyan media professionals on the role of the media in conflict to teach them how to distinguish truth from hype.
The media have the power to amplify and defuse conflicts by shaping public opinion, directing narratives and influencing global perceptions, UNSMIL said in a publication on Monday, inviting Libyan media professionals to this meeting to learn how to distinguish truth from media hype.
According to the same source, the webinar will be led by Dr. Mohammed Wissam Amer, Visiting Fellow at the University of Cambridge and Dean of the Faculty of Communication and Languages at the University of Gaza.
