TO combat the problem of deliberate online falsehoods, an independent fact-checking body could be set up, Singapore Press Holdings (SPH) and Channel NewsAsia (CNA) have suggested to a parliamentary committee looking into the problem.
The fact-checking body should include media players and industry practitioners, and sit independently from government bodies and commercial entities, said SPH, adding it is open to joining such an alliance and working with other media organisations to set this up.
