About this listen
In this first episode of a two-part series, we explore how misinformation can distort public understanding and reactions to critical health information. With social media serving as a breeding ground for these inaccuracies, it is important to develop robust media and data literacy skills to distinguish fact from fiction.
Here we engage with leading experts who share evidence-based strategies for addressing health misinformation and discuss the crucial role of critical thinking and investigative research in fostering media literacy and empowering individuals and communities to make informed decisions. We delve into the difference between misinformation and disinformation, examining susceptibility to these falsehoods, and the psychological and social factors that contribute to their spread.
