My name is Emmanuel Bida Thomas. I am Project Coordinator and Editor for 211 Check at Defyhatenow South Sudan, an NNGO that promotes digital rights and combatting hate speech and misinformation online and offline.
I oversee, identify and develop fact-check articles, edit, compile social media health reports, manage social media accounts, do web editing, and publish. I work continuously with the editorial teams tasked to generate and build articles.
I am also the lead trainer at the organisation responsible for developing training plans and materials. We’ve trained hundreds of youth on tackling misinformation and being cyber-smart across several South Sudan towns.
