Do This: Spotting and Stopping Disinformation

May 15, 2025 | Easy A, Training

Disinformation is everywhere, from social media posts to blogs to online influencers. It works because it’s convincing and easy to share quickly.

Disinformation is not just pervasive and persuasive, it’s also persistent! That means we need to create routine, online habits that help us recognize disinformation when we see it. Small actions whenever we are scrolling — like pausing before sharing something to check its source and make sure that it is true — are the best way to stop disinformation in its tracks. This week’s Easy A action will help you learn how to do this.

Sign up for our upcoming Troublemaker Training with journalist and Stanford professor Janine Zacharia.

Red Wine & Blue Troublemaker Training. Finding trusted news sources in the disinformation era. Janine Zacharia. Thursday, May 22 2025 at 7:30PM ET. Virtual event.

Janine is going to teach us how to spot trustworthy news online. Even if you can’t make it to the live virtual event on May 22 at 7:30pm ET, take just a moment to sign up for it now, and we’ll email you the recording after the event so that you can watch it in your own time.

Facts matter now more than ever. Janine will show us how this all plays a role in protecting our democracy, so we really hope you’ll join us!
