The COVID-19 pandemic has been accompanied by a surge of information, some accurate and some not. Information gaps and a mix of misinformation and malicious disinformation have also led to confusion around the choices we are making to protect ourselves and each other. This can lead to harmful behaviours and erode social cohesion. Improving the management of this ‘infodemic’ is critical for a successful pandemic response. So how do we manage an infodemic? What tools and techniques can we add to our toolkit? Where do we need more research and innovation to strengthen the global response? Join us in this webinar to find out!
