Episode Two

With social media serving as a breeding ground for information inaccuracies, it is important to develop robust media and data literacy skills to distinguish fact from fiction. In this second episode of a two-part series, we continue to explore how misinformation can distort public understanding and reactions to critical health information and we pose essential questions: What are the key characteristics of misinformation and disinformation that we should be looking for? And, how can we empower our communities to distinguish fact from fiction?
