I attended the webinar on how public relations can push back on disinformation. The panelists discussed a few major points. They emphasized that telling the truth within the first 24 hours of the disinformation being spread is important. Establishing credibility is another important factor to making sure your words are valid to the public. Lastly, making sure everyone has the same information will keep disinformation from being believable.
I agreed with everything the panelists stated. One of the panelists, Chloe Moreno stated professionals must “illuminate with the truth.” I resonate with this statement. If the truth is brought to light as soon as possible, disinformation will be slowed and misinformation will not be able to develop.
