Navigating Disinformation Around Elections Masterclass
You can't stop election disinformation from happening. You can make sure you are ready for it!
Join our 2-hour Masterclass
Every election is now an (dis)information campaign, whether you're ready or not. Coordinated manipulation, foreign interference, and political lies spike exactly when democracy is most exposed. And here's the uncomfortable truth: you probably can't prevent these campaigns from happening. What you can control is how prepared you are when they hit.
This masterclass is built for NGOs, journalists, and digital media practitioners who cover elections and want to stop reacting and start anticipating. Structured around the full lifecycle of a disinformation campaign — before, during, and after — it gives you a concrete plan for each phase, so your newsroom stays ahead of the narrative instead of chasing it.
What you will master
Before
Prepare before the storm. You can't stop the campaign, so the work starts early. Setting up your newsroom, focussing on resilience, building protocols, and protecting your team and your credibility before the first false narrative lands.
During
Verify, don't amplify. Fact-checking and verification under live election pressure, plus the discipline of knowing when not to cover something, so you're not handing manipulators the reach they're counting on.
After
Mitigate and recover. What to do once a campaign has run: limiting the damage, correcting the record, and strengthening your audience's resilience so you're better prepared for the next cycle.
