Page West Coast Virtual Regional: Managing Misinformation

“A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.” -- Winston Churchill

The world is now locked in an infodemic that is putting our business, our people and our world at risk at a faster pace than ever before. The same social media platforms that we are using to engage our stakeholders in the digital-first world are the same platforms that are spreading misinformation and disinformation. One of the Page principles is to tell the truth—but how can communicators lead the charge in leading people toward the truth?

In this West Coast Regional Meeting on Thursday, July 14, at 4 p.m. PT, Dave Samson, global vice chairman, corporate affairs at Edelman will lead a discussion about how to combat and communicate about misinformation and disinformation.
