 8 September 2021, online

Mis/disinformation, the un/intentional spread of false information, is not a new phenomenon, but with the increase in digital channels, including social media and private messaging apps, the proliferation of such content, and the speed at which it travels, is accelerated.

This roundtable is for anyone interested in discussing the current state of mis/disinformation, the paths forward, and the building blocks and partnerships needed to achieve the future that we want to reach. We look forward to an energetic discussion – bring your questions!
