The Centre of Excellence for National Security (CENS) at RSIS organised their fourth annual workshop on “DRUMS: Distortions, Rumours, Untruths, Misinformation & Smears” as a three-part webinar series on 1, 2 and 4 December 2020.

The webinar series explored trends and issues in information manipulation — disinformation, misinformation and online falsehoods — that bedevilled the world in 2020. Collectively, these trends and issues affect national security by influencing the processes and outcomes of elections and political discourse, public health and safety, and trust in media sources and national institutions. Expert speakers at the webinar series also examined efforts by governments, civil society, and digital campaigns to counter the information disorder.

Webinar 1: Elections, Misinformation and Disinformation




Webinar 2: Health Crises, Misinformation and Disinformation




Webinar 3: Technology and Journalism – Countering Misinformation/Disinformation
