Capacity Building & Development Center

The media landscape continues to become more complicated, and more confusing. It doesn’t help that it’s also filled with misinformation and disinformation. 

We’ll discuss on how these two issues differ from each other, along with the growing challenges professional communicators and journalists now face in their daily jobs. Tips on how to deal with these issues, and the role we play in stopping the spread of bad information will also be discussed.
