People in Canada are bombarded with information 24/7, much of which is consumed online. It is vital that the public is able to critically assess and recognize misinformation and disinformation online, and avoid online manipulation, especially today with the COVID-19 pandemic spreading worldwide. This online webinar will cover verification tips for individuals to better understand how to determine what information is real vs. fake and combat the spread of online manipulation.

On April 23 at 3:00pm ET, MLI Senior Fellow Marcus Kolga will be joining a webinar hosted by Journalists for Human Rights to discuss spotting disinformation, learning who creates it, and analyzing why it is created. To register, click here.
