A free webinar Friday, April 16, will discuss tools and strategies journalists can use to address the spread of false information, focusing on lessons learned from 2020. It will run from noon to 1 p.m. ET.
Andrew Rockway of the American Press Institute will moderate a discussion with Shana Black of Black Girl Media, Anjanette Delgado of the Detroit Free Press, Karen Mahabir of The Associated Press and Nicolás Rios of Documented. Register here; if you're unable to attend, register anyway and they'll send you a recording. The webinar is sponsored by API and the News Leaders Association.
Rockway recently wrote a related article with advice for newsrooms dealing with the spread of misinformation. One tip discussed in the article: look beyond the obvious platforms to track misinformation, because it's not just happening in public posts on Facebook.
When the Free Press began looking at other social-media sites such as Parler and MeWe and joined closed groups on Facebook and elsewhere, the paper found a wealth of news tips and sources of misinformation they knew they would need to address, Rockway reports. Read more here.
