Are you feeling overwhelmed by the preponderance of mis- and disinformation, the role of AI and the potential effects on the 2024 election? Join us at this webinar to learn how falsehoods spread and how we can avoid them.

The webinar will feature Deanna Troust, founder of Truth in Common, who will moderate the event. Troust will outline an approach for social change to address this pervasive issue. She will discuss recent research and skills to deepen our capacity for constructive civil discourse, based on her workshop series titled “Misinformation: How it Spreads and How to Avoid it.” Troust will be joined in the discussion by McKenzie Sadeghi, Acting Director and Verification Editor for News Guard News.

Audience questions will be collected and answered through the Zoom chat.
