3 misinformation or disinformation reports that were references in a previous OIA

Al made this Official Information request to Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet

The request was successful.

From: Al

Hi everyone,

In this OIA from 2022:
https://fyi.org.nz/request/19264/respons...

It mentioned that commissioning had been done for these 3 reports with suppliers:
- trends in disinformation narratives and the impacts of these on the New Zealand public health response;
- New Zealanders’ knowledge, attitudes and behaviours regarding COVID-19 misinformation; and
- best practice in scanning online, open-source material for the purposes of understanding the online information landscape.

Could I please be provided with the reports (if they exist) and who developed them, how much it cost if it the suppliers were from outside of government, and what they were used for or contributed to.

Thank you for your help,

Al
