Empowering people and communities through critical media literacy

The School of Media and Communication has launched the RMIT Information Integrity Hub, a new initiative that brings together the School's world-class education and research capabilities to continue to address the origins and spread of mis- and disinformation.

The Hub is dedicated to upholding and advancing the integrity of public information by empowering people and communities to be critical media consumers and producers.

This work is being done through education and training for RMIT students, industry, government and community organisations, as well as research projects that focus on addressing the causes and impacts of information pollution.

A current key research project of the Hub is the RMIT Election Promise Tracker, which follows the progress of 66 commitments made by the Albanese Government during the 2022 election campaign.
