Media, Disinformation, and Democratic Resilience
Media, Disinformation, and Democratic Resilience
Disinformation isn’t just “bad information.” It’s an adaptive strategy inside attention systems that reward outrage, speed, and identity conflict.
This talk reframes disinformation as a governance problem: how institutions speak, how publics form beliefs, and how narratives compete in fragmented media environments.
Who this is for
Public institutions, NGOs, educators, journalists, researchers, and any organization that must communicate credibly under polarization.
Audience takeaways
- Why “fact-checking” is necessary but insufficient
- How attention incentives shape what becomes “true” in public life
- The difference between misinformation, disinformation, propaganda, and narrative warfare
- Practical communication moves that reduce backlash and increase comprehension
- How to build resilience through literacy, transparency, and participatory sensemaking
Sample titles
