John,

Last week, we were joined by experts in the field of disinformation – John Sipher, Nina Jankowicz, Greg Schultz, and our very own Phil Ehr – for an enlightening discussion on dis- and misinformation. Here are a few important takeaways:

"Disinfo is weaponized information or falsehoods that are propagated for a political purpose – usually on a large scale, intentionally put out for nefarious means. Misinfo is distinguished by intent."
- Phil Ehr

"Infrastructure that social media provides is fertile ground for DisMis to spread. Generally, social platforms capitalize on people’s emotions. On social, media the most enraging content is often the most engaging content.”
- Nina Jankowicz

“A lie and a fact shouldn’t get equal billing.”
- Greg Schultz

Thank you to those of you who attended our symposium. The George Washington Initiative is committed to combating DisMis ecosystems, and we hope you’ll join us by contributing $10 or whatever you can to our initiative.
