Join our webinar on 18 June to hear all about disinformation - false information shared with the intent to cause harm. Aided by technology, this growing issue is having serious impacts on communities and organisations. 48% of New Zealanders see false information every day. Dealing with it in the public sector is the new norm. Working across sectors, the Disinformation Project uses research and analysis to help a range of clients understand and build resilience to disinformation. To best understand this growing issue, The Disinformation Project became an independent research group in the civil society sector. They are funded by client services, which allows them to do pro-bono work and public reporting to reflect our community-first priorities. Four years on, they have pioneered best-practice analysis of the Aotearoa disinformation landscape and its impacts since the issue first emerged. This makes their dataset, research and services globally unique. Hear all about it from Founder and Director, Kate Hannah https://lnkd.in/gEHVNwM4
