ONA Weekly #458: Updated Playbook To Combat Misinformation

By on April 26, 2023

Updated playbook to combat misinformation

Originally published in 2021, our COVID-19 Misinformation Playbook, a collection of tip sheets, source lists, explainers and other materials spanning public health reporting for journalists and newsrooms, has been updated. 

This resource is designed to help journalists and newsrooms quickly pinpoint COVID-19 facts and misinformation and should serve as both a resource for COVID-19 coverage and a blueprint for how to pull together similar resources for future public health emergencies. Learn how the updated guide, supported by 3M, can help improve your reporting

We want to hear from you as we finalize the playbook. Submit your own suggestions of resources and experts by May 31.
