• This new law has been divisive, with some lauding it as vital for preserving quality journalism and others arguing it’s a misguided approach, advocating alternative methods to achieve similar goals.

Social media plays a vital role

• Although Meta has claimed “users don’t come to us for news,” there is little doubt that social media is an indispensable tool for many to stay connected on current events and to share information among friends and family — especially during emergencies.
• Studies have shown that social media is vital for disseminating crucial information to the public during crisis situations.

‘Free-to-air’ broadcast radio

• In more extreme scenarios, such as when fires disrupt critical infrastructure, including telecommunications, internet accessibility is compromised in many communities (except perhaps for those with satellite-based services).
• Relying exclusively on social media or the internet exposes us to a kind of single-point of failure in our emergency communications system.
• We should not overlook the significance of “free-to-air” broadcast radio in delivering reliable and trustworthy information to citizens.

Variety of media sources

• The internet and social media may be somewhat less reliable during a crisis, but can nonetheless be exceptionally effective at sharing a rich variety of media content, including maps and interactive exchanges of information.
• This includes user-generated updates when there are no reporters or local media on the scene.

Highly reliable news source

• As we look forward, we should not let our reliance on social media overshadow the continuing significance of free-to-air broadcast radio as a cost-effective, highly reliable information source.
• We’ve come to rely on social media as a vital source of information during emergency events.
