Announcement: Oceania-Asia Society for Information Integrity & Safety (OASIIS)
An alliance of fact-checking organisations and other stakeholders working for information integrity and safety in the Asia-Pacific has just launched
I am happy to share that, after an extended period of consultation and preparation, the Oceania-Asia Society for Information Integrity & Safety (OASIIS) has now been formally established.
As an elected member of the steering committee, I would like to thank the International Fact-Checking Network and the Global Fact Check Fund for their support in helping us get to this point.
We are very excited about our next step: conducting elections to form the inaugural Advisory Council. This body will provide strategic guidance and help define the organisation’s priorities in strengthening information integrity and online safety across the Oceania-Asia region.
We are now inviting media professionals, educators, researchers, and other stakeholders working on misinformation, fact-checking, media literacy, online safety, and related areas in the region to connect with us and take part in this process.
If you are interested in receiving details about the Advisory Council elections and subsequent activities, please visit our interim landing web page, https://oasiis.info, and leave your email address. Further information will be shared in the coming weeks via the email you register.
