Equipping Journalists to Counter Anti-American Propaganda
The U.S. Department of State’s Embassy Panama announces an open competition to design and implement a program to strengthen Panamanian journalists’ English language proficiency, applied AI skills, and digital media literacy in order to counter disinformation and advance a more informed public discourse. Panama’s media environment faces growing challenges from disinformation and external influence campaigns that threaten reliable public discourse. This one-year program combines advanced English language instruction with applied artificial intelligence (AI) training and digital media literacy skills, enabling participants to access credible English-language sources, evaluate information critically, and use emerging technologies responsibly in their reporting. By the program’s end, participants will demonstrate improved English proficiency and enhanced digital literacy, enabling them to engage with U.S. expertise and global media resources. They will also apply these skills to identify manipulated media, AI-generated content, and disinformation, and to use fact-checking and verification techniques, effectively strengthening their credibility as trusted, reliable messengers for their communities. This initiative directly advances U.S. foreign policy priorities by countering anti-American propaganda and building resilience against digital disinformation threats, fostering a more informed public discourse in Panama and reinforcing trust in credible, fact-based reporting aligned with U.S. interests in the region.
