@CraigSilverman ended his presentation on a good note. even with all the disinformation being spread, there are things trying to be done about it. fact checkers, journalism stories, critical thinking, and breaking info down. #JRN237 #NEWSENGAGEMENTDAY @CCSUJournalism

@mona20412 @CraigSilverman @CCSUJournalism she did try to contact facebook and the website, nothing was done. it sucks.

“Disinformation intersects with scam culture and tactics” - @CraigSilverman this reminds me of when my mom got scammed through facebook when she tried to buy an ice maker. it’s insane how disinformation is everywhere you turn. #JRN237 #NEWSENGAGEMENTDAY @CCSUJournalism

EXACTLY MY THOUGHTS!!

Craig Silverman came to CCSU back in 2017 for a similar presentation. he mentioned how TikTok was not an app he mentioned because it wasn’t around. now, it is a HUGE way disinformation, political and in general, is spread. #JRN237 #NEWSENGAGEMENTDAY @CCSUJournalism

instead of opposing disinformation, politicians and government leaders adapted to spreading disinformation to “fit in” and gain more audience. i believe this is why controversy became a popular tactic in governmental elections. #JRN237 #NEWSENGAGEMENTDAY @CCSUJournalism

[Alex Matulis @alexmatreports]

“disinformation and media manipulation are entrenched in global politics and elections.”this makes me really think about huge elections that i’ve seen. how much of what was being put out was true? how much was false? honestly scary. #JRN237 #NEWSENGAGEMENTDAY @CCSUJournalism

“the battle for attention is more fierce than ever before” i think of 2020 when we were all in quarantine and all we had was the internet. we all wanted more attention, at least i did. #JRN237 #NEWSENGAGEMENTDAY @CCSUJournalism

[Alex Matulis @alexmatreports]

disinformation and misinformation are two different things. misinfo unintentionally is sharing the intentional disinfo. my question is what’s the motivation to disinform? #JRN237 #NEWSENGAGEMENTDAY @CCSUJournalism

[Alex Matulis @alexmatreports]

what has changed in 5 years in terms of global trends? #JRN237 #NEWSENGAGEMENTDAY @CCSUJournalism
