MAY NEWSLETTER | 📨 Read it here 🖇️ https://lnkd.in/drc_fBMv] Our work this month points to one growing reality: effective digital governance is not just a technical issue but one of power, public trust, and democratic accountability. Through our work across #InformationIntegrity, #JustAI and #DPI projects, we explored how media narratives shape misinformation, the labour structures at the centre of content moderation, the institutional capacity required for effective AI governance, how inequalities shape DPI responses, and more. This newsletter includes: 🔻 Highlights from completion of the School of Digital and Data Futures’ inaugural course, convened with AUDA NEPAD, and our Rapid Response Webinar Series on emerging African AI policy frameworks in #SouthAfrica, #Zimbabwe, #Mauritius and #Kenya. 🔻 Featured Information Integrity research focusing on the Global South, by Zara Schroeder and Dr Scott Timcke. 🔻 Research by Thomas Linder, Ph.D and Merlin Chatwin using #AfterAccess demand-side data to determine how an evolved data governance framework might impact DPI adoption in unequal African contexts. 🔻 A high-level review from our Executive and Research Directors on how we can move the CRASA Summit's commitment to collaborative regulation from intent to action. 🔻 Updates on new staffers, Research Fellow, Hlengiwe Dube and Junior Digital Content Creator, Kirsten Du Preez. 🔻 Launch of two new projects in #InformationIntegrity and #DigitalEconomy and Indicators Programmes.
