PEN America is giving a virtual event, Election Disinformation: Using Media Literacy to Spot It and Stop It,which is co-sponsored by the Boston Public Library. 

During this 90-minute workshop, best practices and defense strategies to combat election disinformation this fall will be discussed, as well as explore the fundamentals of disinformation and how to better identify manipulated content.

Participants will leave equipped with PEN America’s Media Literacy Toolkit, which provides practical tools for how to identify false and misleading information to prevent its spread. The content of the webinar will include timely and contextualized examples to make sense of misinformation in the context of the upcoming election and will build on PEN America's ongoing media literacy workshops and panels with local journalists. 

This workshop is free and open to the public, and is designed to equip voters with the tools to identify misleading content and to help prevent the spread of misinformation.
