At a FCO Global Conference on Media Freedom on July 11, 2019, Tony Hall, Director-General of UK’s BBC, announced that “last month I convened, behind closed doors, a Trusted News Summit” with Big Tech giants and other media to fight disinformation and fake news.  So was born the Trusted News Initiative (TNI).

Together with “[m]ajor publishers, Google, Twitter and Facebook” who have “helped devise the scheme” on the back of “criticism of big technology firms … failing to do enough to prevent the spread of “false news”” and assist with fact checking.  Together they intend to control information “from scares about vaccines to stories manufactured to influence elections.” [1, 2, 3]

TNI partners include: AP, AFP; BBC, CBC/Radio-Canada, European Broadcasting Union (EBU),Facebook, Financial Times, First Draft, Google/YouTube, The Hindu, Microsoft , Reuters, Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism, Twitter, The Washington Post, all heavily funded or have ties with Big Pharma companies aka the vaccine manufactures. [4, 5]

From March 2020 the TNI network of media and Big Tech giants, coordinated the censorship and “fact checking” of any expert voice that didn’t ask “approved” questions or come to “approved” conclusions, or promotes anything that jeopardised the vaccine agenda.

  • Nov 2022 – Asia-Pacific incl. Australia’s public broadcaster ABC joins TNI, inc SBS.
