MANILA, Philippines–How do you use social media for social good?

With the rise of digital technology, there are now various platforms that allow everyone to have a voice and join the conversation.

This, however, has also resulted in the phenomenal rise of fake accounts, hate groups, and disinformation. For instance, Rappler’s propaganda war series discusses how social media has been weaponized, and reality manufactured, online:

This brings up a much needed dilemma that deserves attention: how do you fact check or verify online content?

“#MoveCDO: Social Good in the Digital Age” will draw in around 300 campus journalists, students, and media practitioners interested to learn how we can move the Philippines one story at a time.

At a time when society is deeply seated in the digital sphere, it helps to find out what can be done to see through the noise and make sense of information on social media.

The forum is organized by Rappler in partnership with the Development Communication Society and Development Communication Department of Xavier University-Ateneo de Cagayan.

“#MoveCDO: Social Good in the Digital Age” will be held on September 6 at the Little Theater in XU. The program starts at 8am.
