Event Overview

Intended Audience
Anyone keen to identify disinformation, misinformation, malinformation, or non-information – and looking for ways to insulate their practice and their clients from their effects.

Key Questions

  • What is disinformation, misinformation, malinformation, and non-information?
  • Are we living in a post-truth world? How might I tell?
  • How does this impact my practice and the work of my clients? Can we fight back?

Learning Outcomes
Participation in the course will provide you with the knowledge to:

  • distinguish disinformation, misinformation, malinformation, and non-information
  • carefully use (or avoid!) terms such as ‘post-truth’, ‘fake news’, and ‘alternative facts’
  • construct measures of each and work out strategies to identify them
  • understand the extent to which this can be automated and the pitfalls of doing so
  • explore how governments (if not politicians) are reacting to post-truth
  • update your day-to-day public relations activity to take account of this new reality
  • ensure your practice and your clients are insulated as far as possible.
