| Though its initial mandate was related to elections, the TNI announced in March 2020 that it "will extend its efforts to identifying false and potentially harmful [[Coronavirus]] information" - just over two weeks after the [[World Health Organization]] (WHO)'s declaration of the multinational [[SARS-CoV-2]] outbreak as a "[[pandemic]]".((Cucinotta, D., & Vanelli, M. (2020). //WHO Declares COVID-19 a Pandemic.// Acta Bio-Medica : Atenei Parmensis, 91(1), 157–160. https://doi.org/10.23750/ABM.V91I1.9397)) ((Media Centre. (2020, March 27). //Trusted News Initiative announces plans to tackle harmful Coronavirus disinformation.// BBC. https://www.bbc.com/mediacentre/latestnews/2020/coronavirus-trusted-news)) Then, "with the introduction of several possible new [[COVID-19 vaccines]]" at the end of 2020, the TNI shifted again "to focus on combatting the spread of harmful [[vaccines|vaccine]] disinformation."((Media Centre.

| | ==== Leadership ==== |
| | |
| | [[Jessica Cecil]] is the Director of the TNI, on behalf of the BBC.((Cecil, J. (2022, February 22). //A new consensus for the post-COVID-19 world: Disinformation.// Paris Peace Forum. https://archive.ph/AAkYU)) |
| | |
| | ===== Work ===== |
| | |
| | ==== Publications ==== |
| | |
| | Cecil authored an article published by the [[Paris Peace Forum]] claiming that "disinformation kills", citing "false cures and lies about [[vaccines]]" and invoking the "Capital riots" on January 6th, 2021. She also claimed that individuals spreading "Fake News" are gaining financially. Apparently without realizing the irony, she followed up by applauding [[social media]] organizations increasing funding to pay journalists for "accurate news".((Cecil, J. (2022, February 22). //A new consensus for the post-COVID-19 world: Disinformation.// Paris Peace Forum. https://archive.ph/AAkYU)) |
