The Center for Combating Disinformation under the Presidency’s Directorate of Communications has reinforced its efforts against information pollution and digital manipulation with an outdoor campaign covering all 81 provinces.
The campaign, which will appear in squares, on streets and across other outdoor media, uses striking visuals and informative warnings. The initiative aims to improve citizens’ media and information literacy.
Three key messages stand out in the campaign
- Citizens are urged to verify the source of information before sharing it.
- They are called on to focus on concrete facts rather than the perception being presented.
- The campaign highlights that partial and incomplete information can create a false perception.
Presidential Communications Director Burhanettin Duran said disinformation was not merely a matter of information pollution but directly constituted a national security issue.
Duran said the Center for Combating Disinformation works around the clock to protect citizens’ right to access accurate information and take measures against manipulation. He said the center was working to expose false information and share the truth with citizens quickly.
Duran emphasized that combating disinformation was not limited to institutional efforts and that individual awareness was also important. The campaign aims to raise public awareness of information pollution, manipulation and provocations.
