It’s an election year and these internet streets are wild! This week, we give a 101 on misinformation and disinformation. We define the terms and talk about ways we each can identify misinformation and disinformation. We also offer many resources to further learn how to identify misinformation and disinformation and how to talk to friends and family who post misinformation and disinformation.
