Recognizing, analyzing, and neutralizing disinformation

Ontario Nonprofit Network (ONN)

Learn how to identify misinformation & fake news. Take away practical tools your team can implement to prevent the spread of disinformation.

Fighting misinformation and disinformation is becoming increasingly important as people rely heavily on online sources for their knowledge of the world and current issues. Extreme views built on a global ecosystem of misinformation and disinformation are seeding divisiveness, distrust of institutions, and democratic apathy. A great way for nonprofits to engage meaningfully during elections is to position themselves as stewards against misinformation and disinformation.In this two-hour session, hosted by the team at <a href="https://www.spitfirestrategies.com/tools/combating-disinformation" title="https://www.spitfirestrategies.com/tools/combating-disinformation" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Spitfire Strategies</a>, participants will learn the difference between misinformation, disinformation, and fake news. We will cover the techniques and rhetorical strategies that bad actors use to push and spread disinfo so that nonprofit communications teams can learn to recognize and call out the strategies when appropriate.This session will explore practical messaging tools that can be deployed to neutralize disinformation, including what messages you can share with your audience so that they can spot disinfo when they see it and ways to debunk misinformation about your core issues when it is circulating.This session is open to all nonprofit staff and leaders but is geared towards those that work in communications, advocacy, and policy.Note: ONN members can get a 15% discount.
