Expert 20-Minuten-Gruppe for research
Disinformation is a central problem of our time and has gained momentum not least due to major crises such as the Covid 19 pandemic or the Russian war of aggression in Ukraine. In view of the flood of false claims circulating on social media in particular, the WHO has already spoken of an infodemic. We are all exposed to this - media producers as well as consumers. Accordingly, we all have to arm ourselves. The workshop will reveal how this can be done - without much effort. There are tips, tricks and tools for a quick (initial) check. And you will learn which points should make you skeptical (red flags) and which questions (*) you should always ask yourself. And: What the difference is between misinformation and disinformation.
