Fact vs. Fiction: Training the Public to Identify
Mis- and Dis-information 

Presented by Erica Smitka, Deputy Director, LWV of New York State

Thursday, April 25, 7 pm, via Zoom 

Co-sponsored by the LWV of Sussex County, Delaware, the LWV of Delaware, and the LWV of New York State

In recent years, polarization, extremism, and the amplification of mis- and disinformation have impacted election administration as bad actors try to sway election outcomes. It’s important to combat the rising tide of mis- and disinformation as it threatens harm to online and in-person communities.

 

Learn to distinguish between fact and fiction and how to train the public to do the same. Join us for a presentation of Fact vs. Fiction: Training the Public to Identify Mis- and Dis-information on Thursday, April 25th at 7 p.m. Developed by the LWV of New York (LWVNY) for their Regional Training Workshops, and generously shared with the Delaware Leagues, this webinar will help you better distinguish between mis- and dis-information, the purpose and impact of both, and how we can educate the public to spot inaccurate information in their daily lives.

This webinar is exclusive to LWVDE members thanks to
