The Communications Commission and the Media Academy will hold the media literacy contest “Truth or Fiction?” for bachelor degree students for the second time. Participation in the contest, which aims to develop logical and critical thinking, analysis, and fact-checking skills among young people, will be open to all bachelor degree students from November 1 until December 5. 

As part of the competition, participants are required to identify fake news in Georgian media space (internet, television, and printed media) that had not yet been confirmed as inaccurate. The students have to explain how they identified the information, present the relevant source, and establish real facts surrounding the case. 

Winners of the competition will be selected by a competent jury panel. Winners will receive modern prizes from the Communications Commission, including an iPhone 13 Pro for the first place, an HP Pavilion for the second place and an iPad 10.2 (9 Gen) for the third place. 

Rules and other details of the competition are available on the Facebook page of media literacy of the Communications Commission – https://www.facebook.com/MediaLiteracy.comcom/ as well as the official website of the Commission – www.comcom.ge

The Communications Commission has previously held five editions of the media literacy contest “Truth or Fiction?” – four times for school pupils and once for university students. All participants have received certificates from the Commission.
