Media awareness assignment.

CC:

1. What is disinformation? 
   1. Disinformation is information that is created to deliberately misinform or deceive the reader.
2. How does disinformation impact a community? 
   1. People could be worried about things that could happen inside their community but also impact those that don’t know how to tell the difference between disinformation and correct information. 
3. Give an example or share an experience of how disinformation impacted you or a community.
   1. The global pandemic has given us a lot of disinformation. It is hard on everyone because for most of us we have never really experienced a pandemic like this and so we’re trying to learn. With the spreading of disinformation, it is hard to know what is correct from what is incorrect. 
4. How would you help your fellow classmates identify and stop the spread of disinformation? 
   1. I would teach them the same things this class has taught me. For example, ways to tell if a website could be fake or not safe.
