What - In this free webinar, we will discuss the topic of combatting misinformation in the context of COVID-19. With the flood of news and discussion happening on social media, it can be hard to see through it all and determine what is fact and what is not. Within the context of COVID-19 and the current information landscape we will answer the following questions:

  • What is misinformation?

  • How is it formed and spread?

  • Why are we susceptible to misinformation?

  • What can we do about it?

We address these hard questions as well as provide some tangible tips for how we can all protect ourselves from misinformation and prevent it from spreading. For those of you who attended our webinar "Misinformation and what to do about it" in the past, this webinar will cover many of the same topics and information and will be a good refresher of best practices on combatting misinformation in the face of current challenges.
