Countering Disinformation in South India: A Regional Media Literacy Initiative
The Public Affairs Section of the U. S. Consulate General in Chennai (PAS Chennai) is soliciting proposals for a project entitled, “Countering Disinformation in South India:
A Regional Media Literacy Initiative.” In the South Indian context, regional language media (TV, radio, print, and
digital media) serve as the primary source of information for the 170 million citizens of South India (Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Kerala, the Union State of Puducherry, and the Andaman & Nicobar Islands).
This project focuses on regional language media professionals due to both their substantive reach and the fact that existing English-language trainings and resources on countering misinformation and disinformation may not be accessible to them.
